How have we got to the longest day already? It’s sad to think the daylight hours will be getting shorter from now on.

Here is a roundup of what has been happening at the club over the last couple of months

Training in May was very busy, Zoe organised 2 jumping sessions with Russ Underwood and they have proved to be popular with members. He certainly knows how to motivate riders and get the very best out of them.

Rachael organised a poles session with Amanda Snowdon at the club field and again everyone went away with a smile on their face having set their own personal goals and achieving them. May also saw the first of our Clear round jumping evenings where members only come to the field and are able to spend time going over fences at their chosen heights. It is very affordable and Sheila and Jenni are on hand to help and encourage.

On the 16^th May EVRC held their first Pleasure ride! Superbly organised by Tania. It was the most lovely morning seeing groups of riders chatting away having a social while riding their ponies around Everingham. We will most definitely hold another one as it was enjoyed by everyone.

Inter Club Team Dressage

Sunday 27^th was a lovely morning of competition when Ebor Vale and White Rose RC riders competed in the inter club team dressage at the club field. Riders looked so smart and all ponies and horses were turned out beautifully. For many it was the first time riding competitively as part of a team and there were visible nerves. Everyone rode brilliantly and it was lovely to see everyone supporting each other.

Before I go I’d just like to reiterate a message that has been mentioned before and it’s about volunteering to help at club and Area 4 events. As a member of EVRC you are expected to offer to help at least once a year at either a club activity or at an Area 4 competition.

The committee do as much as they can and we have a few members who have offered to help at Area 4 Qualifiers. If we are unable to send volunteers to qualifiers then our teams and individuals cannot compete. 

Sheila Kheunle is our volunteer coordinator so please look at the diary dates and get in touch with her to fulfil your membership commitment.

Jackie 

Hello Members,

I write this watching the rain through the window and for once it’s a welcome sight. My fields are looking rather dry and brown and I am still feeding my ponios hay. I hope that we get enough of the wet stuff to replenish the grass but not too much that it stops us going out enjoying our selves. 

A lot has been happening at club and at Area 4level with the virtual Novice and Intermediate Championships added to the mix too….

EVRC training events

Thanks to Rachael Smith our training at Thornton House Farm has been very popular and consistently well attended throughout the autumn and winter, when we were not in lockdown. The last session there was a jumping session with Amanda Snowdon. It was an opportunity for those individuals who like to jump to be tested by making them think about, riding corners, maintaining a consistent canter rhythm and analysing their own performance. Everyone enjoyed it and I have to say Hannah Wainwright who was in the first group with me and a few other oldies was an absolute delight and didn’t mind showing a few of us how to do it….

Zoe Nundy has also stepped in to organise some sessions with Russ Underwood. The XC training was very enjoyable and informative and we are looking forward to starting some jump training at Underwood Events to help prospective team members prepare for Area qualifiers.

Results

BRC Winter Novice Championships 2019 and 2020

The Brc Championships had to be moved online due to Covid 19 and EVRC had a few riders competing virtually having Qualified in the October of 2019.

Rachael Smith riding Glory Hunter finished 6th in their Arena

Jenni Keuhnle riding Amarach Clover finished 7^th in their Arena.

A fabulous achievement in a National competition.

The juniors qualified for the 2021 BRC Virtual Championships and unfortunately had to compete as a team of 3 as one of the ponies went lame. The team finished =9^th which considering they were a rider down was an amazing achievement…

Elissa Harrison riding Lackagh Pride finished 9^th in their Arena

Izzy Scanlon riding George finished 9^th in their Arena

Keeley Nundy riding Ruby Tuesday finished 7^th in their Arena

A brilliant job girls!!!!

EVRC had one junior and two seniors representing

the club at Richmond in April. It was the first

Club Training

Members are so lucky to be able to access such a variety of training opportunities with a range of instructors at EVRC. We try to cater for as many members as possible and accommodate requests wherever possible. However we ask that when members book a slot that they Bank Transfer funds straight away to Sort 54 41 24 Account No 54647908 and then text the person running the training to say funds have been transferred. Unfortunately if you are unable to attend the training for whatever reason the session will still have to be paid for, unless we or you can find a replacement.

May 5^th was an opportunity for members to attend Underwood Events and receive instruction from Russ Underwood. I think all those that attended would agree that it was a fantastic and educational experience. We look forward to the next one scheduled for the 13^th May.

Zoe is organising the training at “Underwoods” so 

Please check the Diary Dates and FB and contact her

to book a slot.

We have such a lot going on for you all at the club so please take advantage and come along to some of the activities on offer.

Before I go I want to say a huge “Thank you “to Clare Field who offered to fence judge at the Area 4 Arena Eventing qualifier at Richmond. As members we are all required to offer to help, either at a club event or at an area Qualifier and it’s so much nicer if members come forward themselves rather than Sheila, our volunteer’s coordinator having to chase folk. We are all aware these activities would not run without an army of volunteers so please do your bit.

Take care and see you soon!

Jackie (Chair)

Dear Members,

Please take a look at what is happening at EVRC and Area 4 over the coming months. The person organising the event is initialled for your information and booking should be through them. Our training is primarily organised by Rachael Smith but Zoe Nundy has liaised with Russ Underwood and is offering some sessions at “Underwood’s Events “. Please be aware of the booking and payment instructions which will usually be advertised on our FB page and the EVRC website.

Sheila Kuehnle is organising helpers for the variety of events being planned at the club field and at Area 4 qualifiers and as it is a requirement, as an EVRC member, to offer to help please contact her with dates that you can offer your services please.

Sheila is also running the clear round jumping at the club field and this will be aimed at riders and horses that need experience and confidence. Details will be advertised shortly.

The Pleasure ride will start at the club field and Tania O’Connell will be helping with the organisation before and on the day. The plan is to enjoy a sociable ride and then enjoy a picnic at the end to reflect on our adventures….

Our Club Team Dressage Competition on the 27^th June is aimed at riders who have never competed at a BRC Area Qualifier, to give them the experience of riding as part of a team for their club against other local riding clubs. Hopefully it will inspire riders to volunteer to represent their clubs in future Area 4 qualifiers.

In September we can look forward to the EVRC Showing Show which is always very popular and draws many different age groups and differing types of horses and ponies.

We are looking forward to a busy and successful summer at the club and can’t wait to welcome you all.

Ebor Vale Riding Club News, March 2021

Dear Members,

I hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to a little more freedom when we hit the 29^thMarch, step two of Boris’ road map to freedom. This lockdown has certainly been a challenge for me personally; quite different from the first one when the weather was good and everyone was so optimistic that once we were allowed our freedom again all would be well….

Winter months are a challenge anyway for us horsey folk but add in a National lockdown with nothing to look forward to as regards competitions, pleasure rides, hacking or meeting up with friends and family and life can seem pretty depressing.

What have the EVRC Committee been up to…..

The committee have been on a steep learning curve during this time. We have had to transfer all our planning and communication online. We have been mindful that as members, especially active riding members, you deserved some form of interaction and activities to keep you focused and give you goals to aim for.

Our You Tube platform has provided a couple of activities, one riding and the other a non riding fitness programme organised by “Fight Fit” who are based in Wheldrake.

Our riding session was one using poles. It was led by Adele and she explained how one exercise could be used by different horses to meet their level of experience. In our case a youngster, a more physically mature horse and finally a horse who was well established with regards to the “Levels of training”

If you haven’t already please take a look at our You Tube page and by all means have a go if you have access to a number of poles and either an arena or a flat piece of field.

EVRC Virtual Dressage competition

The club organised a virtual dressage competition for members and non members in February. We had a fabulous response with over twenty entries.  We tried to cater for everyone from first timers to the more experienced combinations and judging by the lovely comments and feedback everyone enjoyed it!

It could be about a competition you’ve attended, a golden oldie you own or look after, it could be about a new four legged addition to your family.  

I hope to see you all soon 

Take care

Jackie (Chair)

A belated “Happy New Year” to you all. I do hope you are keeping well and that you are managing as best you can in this present lockdown….

I am finding this third lockdown much tougher than the previous two and I think the time of year has a lot to do with it. It is taxing enough caring for our ponies in winter but add to the mix Covid and hurricane Christophe and it makes everything doubly hard. My paddocks resemble lakes at the moment and the horses come in covered in mud, it seems relentless…..However let’s try and be positive and look forward to spring and being able to go out with our family and friends once more.

2021 Membership renewal

Membership for 2021 was due on the 1^st January so if you haven’t filled in a membership form and paid the annual fee please do so A.S.A.P. Margaret Hope deals with membership and you can send her either a hard copy of the membership form or fill it in online and email it to her. Payment can be by cheque or preferably by Bank transfer to Sort code 54041024 Acc 54647908. Membership forms and all the details on how to renew are on the website.

If by the 1^st February we haven’t received your membership renewal unfortunately you will no longer be covered by BRC insurance, be able to represent the club in Area Qualifiers or be entitled to cheaper club training and entry fees. In addition you will no longer receive club and BRC updates via email.

What’s coming up for members in lockdown 

The committee have not been idle since Christmas! We have been trying to think of ways to engage you all as best we can.

Becky Whitely our IT guru, has set up an EVRC You Tube account and we are in the process of recording short sessions for you all to look at and hopefully be able to take some inspiration from. This week was a session using poles, emphasising straightness.

We have plans to include sessions for those of you that cannot ride at the moment on subjects like rider fitness, talks from feed companies, dentists, physiotherapists and Vets. If you have any particular requests please get in touch with your suggestions and if you know any experts who would be interested in giving up some time to become a You Tube star please let us know.

Online Dressage Competition

Following on from our very successful first Lockdown dressage Competition we have a second planned, using BRC dressage tests. The closing date for getting your test/s to me is 15^th Feb. Hopefully arenas will have dried out and be defrosted to allow you to ride and have your test videoed!

All the details of how to enter and what to do are on the EVRC FB page and on the website. If you have any questions at all please give me a ring on 07917431087.

Area 4 Competitions Update

Covid 19 and the “Lockdown” have had a massive impact

On the Area 4 Qualifiers and BRC Championships for 2021.

 At the moment the Novice Dressage Qualifier and Championship is going to be run as a virtual competition. The details will follow when we receive them from Area 4.

Unfortunately the Combined Training Championship has been cancelled therefore there will be no Qualifier for this event.

The Arena eventing has been rescheduled and will be run at Richmond EC on the 24^th and 25^th April if restrictions allow.

The HT will now be on the 18^th July at Helen Bells.

The Summer Show has been moved to the 14^th and 15^th August and will be at Richmond EC.

DTM does not have a date but the venue will be at Manor Grange.

Let us all hope that things improve and that we can get back to what we love doing with our ponies but until then… “Stay safe”

EVRC AGM

11^th NOVEMBER 2020

MINUTES

1. Apologies – Zoe Godley, Jane Chivers

Present – Rachel Mathews, Samantha Askew, Lucy Jordan, Vicky Pears, Christine Shepherd, Philip Lewis-Ogden, Sheila and Jenni Kuehnle, Fran Ackerley, Jackie Snow, Margaret, Dawn, Gilly B, Rachael Smith, Lisa

Minutes of previous AGM – agreed as correct.

Matters arising – nil

Chairman’s address – Jackie thanked everyone for their attendance and the committee for their had work and commitment over the last 12 months. With great sadness Rachel Mathews will be stepping down from her role as Club Secretary. She was thanked for all her hard work over the last 4 years and on behalf of the committee Jackie wished her all the best for the future. Lucy Jordan was welcomed to the committee – nominated by Jackie and seconded by multiple committee members.  Jackie recapped the year which started well with training but early set-back of the senior show-jumping qualifier having to be re-arranged due to Storm Dennis. This meant EVRC members had to ‘step up’ to provide help at a not so local venue – this they did and the committee would like to thank all that volunteered. The junior team were able to travel down for the arena eventing championship acquiring a team placing of 9^th despite being a team member down. The week after the club and country went into lockdown. In an attempt to keep members engaged EVRC launched there first virtual dressage, with success. Another was planned, but unfortunately BD put a stop to this. We also had our showing show – placing responsibility on our chair to judge the many entries. With lockdown easing we re-started training in June in the new ‘COVID safe’ style. We hoped we would be able to move onwards and upwards to team qualifiers. Unfortunately at the 12^th hour these were cancelled and the second lockdown commenced, leaving the club back as we were in Spring.Treaurer’s report – this will be forwarded to those that are interested. Total income £7584.19, expenditure £6012.33 = profit £1571.86. Nat west account £4974.46 Lloyds account £3595.48 (£8569.96 total) – these have now been merged to the Nat. West Account only. Training income has reversed the previous downward trend in club finances.

Membership – membership numbers = 84. This is similar to previous years, although concerns were raised that the cancellation of qualifiers by BRC May adversely affect this next year. It was agreed to maintain the current membership fee of £30, despite the membership of BRC increasing.

                        7.    Team report

Teams have been affected, like every aspect of our lives this year. The club were so organised, ready and prepared for the Area 4 Qualifiers. Training was organised to select club teams, Zoe did a brilliant job booking venues and coaches for jump training starting straight after Christmas at Willitoft and later at Bishop Burton. We entered seniors and juniors teams in 70, 80, 90 and 100 classes. Unfortunately the weekend coincided with Hurricane Denis and the forecast was for severe gales on the Sunday. Saturday was the day the juniors competed along with riders in the 100 and 110cm mixed classes.

Sunday’s jumping had to be postponed and was rescheduled unfortunately, with a change of venue and format. Competitors travelled to Moorhouse to compete, which was a challenge not only to park but to navigate around an incredibly small indoor space!!

Fortunately the Junior Arena Eventing team consisting of Millie Harris, Millie Hunter Boldan and Keeley Nundy managed to attend the Championships at Aston Le Walls and managed to achieve a team 9^th place. An excellent result considering they were a team of 3!!

It was August before Area Qualifiers were back up and running, although in a limited Covid safe way and as a result the DTM only ran individual Music classes.

Training – the club has been able to offer a lot of training this year. This has yet again proved to be very popular with the members. We have used a number of different trainers. The team training has also been very well attended. Flatwork and pole work clinics have worked well, but jumping is a little more tricky to accommodate preferred times/heights/friendship groups but is a work in progress. We are optimistic we will be able to resume training after the lockdown ends. Currently the next scheduled training is Tuesday 15^th December, but we will wait to ensure restrictions are lifted before opening this for booking.

AOB – The committee was formally reconvened. Sheila was also welcomed to the committee. The committee took the opportunity to thank Jackie for her work as chairperson.
