Summer

I hope you are all well and are enjoying the summer sun, rain and gales!!!! The British weather never ceases to surprise us and keep us on our toes.

Slowly and cautiously we are gradually getting back into the swing of training and competing both at club and Area 4. Everyone is conscious of being safe and ensuring we take sensible precautions against Covid 19. I fear that we will have to live with this virus for some time unfortunately.

The club are taking as many precautions as we can:

• Making sure we social distance
• Having hand sanitizer available
• Asking members and visitors not to enter the club house
• Parking, leaving ample distance between vehicles
• Having no more than 6 horses in the warm up area.

Training at the club field has been very popular as always. Amanda Snowdon, Sue Joy, Jane Blades and Adele Mason have delivered flat and pole sessions which have been educational, challenging but most importantly enjoyable. It’s so good to see members enjoying themselves at the club field.

Dressage show 6^th August

Our second dressage show was held on a Thursday, the weather was kind to us again and we had some super combinations. A few youngsters who were experiencing their first attempt at dressage and some experienced combinations trying their hand at a higher level of competition. Covid guidelines have been a challenge but members have been mindful of parking and social distancing at the field.

A  huge thanks must go to Andrea Brett, our judge on the night and her daughter Becky who was writer. 

Thanks also go to Amy and Lucy Jordan along with Sheila Kuehule and Chris Shepherd who were covering scoring, stewarding, collecting sheets and reading tests. Without these kind offers of help these shows would not run!!!

We have a virtual dressage competition running this month, as well as Pub Quiz on 19th June and a “Jumping into June” photo competition!!

A virtual dressage competition is a first for the riding club and its members!!

And was a fantastic success – with 27 competitors!

Organised by Samantha Askew and Judged by Adele Mason the riding club has delivered a completely socially distant event!!

Congratulations to all those that entered! See below results!

Unfortunately this event has been cancelled due to lack of entries.

On The Plus side… Christine and Fran have had a good sort out at the field!! So thank you very much both!

The ground at the field is looking fab, and ready for some action!

Planning to hold at least one competition a month at the field all being well!

As some of you will know Ebor Vale has in previous years, supported the Area 4 Winter Show Jumping Competition at Bishop Burton with helpers. 

That time has come round again and the club is needing a number of volunteers over the two days to do various tasks to ensure the smooth running of the competition. 

If you are available to help at all Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th February 2020 please let me know by either 

Replying to this email or
Contacting me on Facebook/messenger 

I need to have 5.5 people on Saturday and Sunday and currently only have 9 volunteers, some only half a day to cover the two days. 

Please please please help support the club!! 

Thank you and look forward to hearing from you.

Please contact Rachel Matthews via Facebook or Ebor Vale Page if you would be able to help!
