Sunday 14th October 2007 After a series of postponements and cancellations during the season the Pony Club ended their summer series of competitive events on a high note when they held their annual One Day Event on Sunday 14th October at Ballawilleykilly, Glen Vine (kind permission of Mr & Mrs John Kirkpatrick) The weather was fantastic, the entry was good and the competition provided a most enjoyable day for all those concerned both competitors, spectators and organizers. The standard throughout the competition was high particularly in the dressage where there were some fantastic tests ridden, especially by our senior Pony Club members. Just a couple of accidents marred the day but these were quickly dealt with by our experienced Red Cross team and hopefully both competitors will soon be back in the saddle competing again. Special mention must be made of PC members Tara Adams and Chloe Lace. Tara has enjoyed a most successful season on her new horse Fernhill Footsie and finished in grand style to win the Junior Novice class and Chloe's determination to overcome some niggling problems with her lovely pony Cushag Popstar has eventually reaped her just reward by winning the Junior Prelim. The prizes were presented by the Club's President Mrs Jackie McCubbin and the full results are as follows:- Class 1 Junior Intro Best Dressage Poppy Evans Hayley and Chloe Wood Carrilon Cello Class 2 Senior Intro Best Dressage Natalie Collier Brooklands Lady Class 3 Junior Prelim Best Dressage Chloe Lace Cushag Popstar Class 4 Senior Prelim Best Dressage Sam Babb Irish Mist Class 5 Junior Novice Best Dressage Tara Adams Fernhill Footsie Class 6 Senior Novice Best Dressage Cheryl Bond The Irish Charmer Ballawilleykilley Trophy for best score on the Day Chloe Lace Cushag Popstar and Tara Adams Fernhill Footsie Pony Club Trophies Best Pony Club Dressage Tara Adams and Chloe Lace The Pony Club would like to thank Jasper and Sue Kirkpatrick for their hard work producing this most inviting cross country course and also for their continued support and help to the club, the Red Cross for their usual excellent service in dealing with the emergencies which arose during the day; the Copy Shop for their support in supplying print work for the club; dressage judges, Angela Kennedy, Ann Quigley and Michelle Hargreaves; showjumping judge Angela Whitlow; cross country starters Laura and Mary Callow; commentator Peter Bond; fence repair Kevin Goldsmith and the dressage writers, tack inspection judges, showjumping and cross country stewards and all the other helpers on the day too numerous to mention, without the voluntary help of all these people the event could not run the Pony Club are grateful to you all.

Combined Training, Dressage & Show Jumping Sunday 9th September 2007 The Pony Club held a very successful Combined Training event on Sunday at Ballawilleykilley, Glen Vine (kind permission of Mr & Mrs J Kirkpatrick). Combined training requires the competitor to complete a dressage test and then a round of showjumps and the competitor with the best dressage mark and the lowest showjumping score combined wins hence the name combined training. The schedule also included extra classes for pure dressage and showjumping. All classes were well filled and the standard, especially in the dressage, was particularly high. The dressage judges for the day were Mrs Wendy Bibby, Mrs Michelle Hargreaves and Mrs Gemma Mylchreest - many thanks to them for giving up their time today. The showjumping was judged by Mrs Angela Whitlow and the excellent course was designed by Mrs. Clare Drewry both had a long hard day and the committee would like to thank them both. The results were as follows:- Class 1a Bunnyhop Combined Training (Lead Rein) Class 1b Bunnyhop Combined Training (Off lead rein) Class 2a Junior Intro Combined Training Class 2b Senior Intro Combined Training Class 3a Junior Prelim Combined Training Class 3b Senior Prelim Combined Training Class 4 Novice Combined Training Class 5 Intermediate Combined Training Class 6a Bunny hop Showjumping (Lead Rein) Class 6b Bunnyhop showjumping (Off Lead Rein) Class 7 Intro Showjumping Class 8 Prelim Showjumping Class 9 Novice Showjumping Class 10 Intermediate Showjumping Class 11a Bunnyhop Dressage (Lead Rein) Class12 Intro Dressage Class 13 Prelim Dressage Class 14 Intermediate Dressage The committee would also like to thank John and Sue Kirkpatrick for the use of their land and send their best wishes to Sue for a speedy recovery, The Copy Shop for their sponsorship for this event, Liz and Voirrey Kewley for providing our first aid cover, and all the many helpers who give up their time so willingly without whose valuable help the event could not run.

Sunday 22nd July 2007 The Pony Club held their Mid Summer showjumping competition at Ballawilleykilley, Glen Vine (kind permission of Mr & Mrs J Kirkpatrick). Although there had been heavy rain overnight, apart from some small areas of wet ground, the going was excellent. The excellent course was designed and built by Hilary Shimmin and was made up of 20 fences some show jumps and some working hunter fences (kind permission of Highton Riding Club). Normal showjumping courses comprise eight to ten fences so this very long course presented a challenge to both horse and rider however all the competitors rose to the occasion and there was some excellent showjumping throughout the day. It was most encouraging to see so many spectators at the event who were able to sit in the sun and enjoy the day's entertainment. The results were as follows:- Class 1 Lead Rein Class 2 Bunnyhop Class 3 10 & Under Class 4 14 & Under Class 5 Novice Class 6 18 & Under Class 7 Intermediate Class 8 Open The committee would like to thank John and Sue Kirkpatrick for allowing us to hold the competition on their land, the Red Cross represented by Mr Douglas Bridson, for his usual excellent and reliable service, Peter Bond for judging and providing a very lively commentary throughout the day, course builder Hilary Shimmin for the hours of work she puts in both before and during the event, judges for the day Corrine and Jessica Wilson and Angela Whitlow and all the band of helpers who tirelessly put fences up and down all day and then very kindly stayed to help clear up afterwards this is such a help and is greatly appreciated. All Pony Club members and friends are invited to the end of Camp disco at Kennaa on Friday 3rd August at 7.00pm. Please tel 433222 to book your place as numbers will be limited. |

Tuesday 23rd May 2007 The Pony Club held the last of their cross country events for this season at Croit-ny-Cabbyl, Lonan when they held the team event on Tuesday 22 nd May. This is a good fun event with teams made up of 4 members, one to be under 12 years of age, one member must compete round the Intro course, one round the Novice course and one round the Intermediate course, the final member to compete on a course of their choice three scores to count. It was a close competition especially between the first and second placed teams, The Cabbyl team just pipping the Team Supreme. The committee would like to thank Peter and Linda Bond for allowing the club to use their land and also for all their extremely hard work setting up the course and arranging for the use of all the extra facilities, the Red Cross for their usual prompt and efficient service and also all the stewards for giving up their time so that we can run the event

Saturday 12th May 2007 The Pony Club held a Beginners One Day Event at Croit-ny-Cabbyl, Lonan on Saturday 12th May. It was unfortunate that the date clashed with the Youth Games as this precluded some of the members from attending this event but those that did attend were treated to a most enjoyable day out where the event was run exactly to the rules but the fences were suitably sized for those members who have never competed in a One Day Event before. The dressage was judged by Becky Venn and it was amazing to see these young riders memorizing a full dressage test. The showjumping course was built and judged by Cheryl Bond, ably assisted by Tara Adams, and all the competitors completed this successfully with only minor penalties. The highlight for most of the young riders however, was the cross country. Peter Bond had built a fantastic course with the new portable fences purchased by the Club from the Forestry Board but initially designed by Peter from the Country Warehouse. The course looked every inch a Badminton course only scaled down appropriately! Special mention must be made to the winners Aalish Creer and Lewis Exon who both performed excellent dressage tests and gained no further penalties throughout the competition, both finishing on their dressage score and also Isla Curphey as she was the youngest competitor and managed to finish in the rosettes. The full results were as follows:- 8 & Under Jenny Wren Trophy 9 and Over Creer Contractors Trophy Pony Club Bunnyhop Trophy for Best Dressage on the Day Aalish Creer Zebedee Springs. |

Sunday 6th May 2007 Although the going was on the hard side there was an excellent entry for the Hunter Trial on Sunday 6 th May at Croit-ny-Cabbyl, Lonan (kind permission of Mr & Mrs P Bond). It was most encouraging to see a lot of new faces turn out for this event and even some first time cross country riders picking up prizes. Mary Callow, usually working as a starter but riding cross country for the first time completed a very successful round to win in the Intro Pairs with partner Liz Rae. Two very talented Pony Club members Phoebe Cross and Tara Adams also competed very successfully to win the Junior and Intermediate classes respectively, Tara winning on her very promising young horse Fernhill Footsie. The committee would like to thank Linda and Peter Bond for all their hard work preparing the course, The Red Cross for pulling out all the stops and arranging for us to have a cross country ambulance made available for the event and also all the stewards and helpers who so generously give up their time to enable us to hold the event. The results were as follows:- Intro pairs Intro Pairs Junior Senior Intermediate Photos from the event are available to view and purchase from www.manxequinephotos.co.uk |

Sunday 29th April 2007 Perfect weather helped to make the One Day Event on Sunday 29th April a most enjoyable competition. The event was very well supported and was held at Croit-ny-Cabbyl, Lonan (kind permission of Mr & Mrs P Bond) Peter and Linda Bond and their family had once again worked extremely hard to ensure that the event ran smoothly and this extra attention to detail certainly paid off as the whole day ran like clockwork and there were no serious falls. The dressage judges for the day were Mrs Wendy Bibby, Mrs Angela Kennedy and Becky Venn and the showjumping judge was Mrs Angela Whitlow- all judges did a fantastic job and the committee would like to thank them for giving up their time. Cheryl Bond built a lovely showjumping course and Peter Bond once again provided a very inviting cross country course. There were some excellent scores and it was most encouraging to see so many Pony Club members gaining prizes. Lisa Young with her new little horse deserves a special mention as she performed a lovely dressage test and then went clear showjumping and cross country to finish on her dressage score and win her class. For the first time the event was held in conjunction with the newly formed Highton British Riding Club. This added extra encouragement for the senior riders and Pony Club were delighted to be involved in this new venture. The results of the event were as follows:- Intro Best Dressage - Samantha Corlett Southern Star Junior Best Dressage Lisa Young the Lightning Man Novice Best Dressage Helen Squires Demonmania Intermediate Best Dressage Cheryl Bond The Irish Charmer Highton British Riding Club Intro Novice Intermediate The committee would like to thank The Red Cross for their usual co-operation and excellent service and all the judges and stewards without whose valuable help we could not run.
