Another Club Day done and dusted!

A smaller group of riders, but still a really good morning at Johnson Park. We had four riders out enjoying the trail gear and plenty of spectators coming along for a look and a chat. It was especially great to meet some new faces interested in joining the club! 😊

A big thank you to our committee who came along and pitched in with setting up, helping throughout the morning.
Thanks to everyone who helped pack everything away. Having those extra helping hands makes such a difference and is really appreciated. ❤️

I didn’t manage to get many photos, but here are a few from the morning.

📅 Our next Club Day will be Sunday 13th September, and we’re hoping to have Jo Wakeling along to run the morning and share some of her knowledge. Jo has been involved in Western riding and our club for many years. While she no longer rides herself, she’s still very involved as a ring steward and is currently working towards her judge’s ticket.

It’ll be a great opportunity, particularly for anyone newer to Western, to learn some of the basics, get some guidance and also gain a bit of an insight into what a judge is looking for. 🤠

Thanks to everyone who came along, we’ll see you next month!

Club Day is ON! 🤠🐴

🤠 Club Day Wrap Up 🤠

What a lovely morning we had at the Club on Sunday.

It was a nice, relaxed club day, with several babies heading out for an outing and some valuable exposure, while others spent the morning honing their skills and enjoying time with their horses. The weather certainly looked after us too, and was a welcome break from all the recent rain! ☀️👌

One of the highlights of the morning was getting to know some of our new members who have recently joined the club. It's always great to put faces to names, have a chat, and welcome new people into our Western riding community.

We took a few snaps to capture some moments from the morning, so here are a few of our photos.

Thank you to everyone who came along. Club days aren't just about riding, they're about learning together, encouraging one another, building friendships, and enjoying our horses in a relaxed and supportive environment.

🤠🐴 What a great Club Day! 🐴🤠

It was awesome to see so many people come along, whether riding, watching, asking questions, or simply finding out what Western riding is all about.

We had everything from beginners to experienced riders, a real mix of horses and breeds, and plenty of good conversations happening throughout the day. It was fantastic to see our committee members chatting with visitors and helping make everyone feel welcome. 😊

A huge thank you to Jo for sharing her knowledge and experience with us. She was incredibly generous with her time, answered lots of questions, and gave everyone plenty to think about and work on. We all came away having learned something new and with smiles on our faces. 🌟

One of the best parts of the day was seeing so many people genuinely interested in learning more about Western riding. We're thrilled to welcome several new members who signed up on the day and look forward to getting to know you all! 🎉

There were also some great ideas shared, including interest in a casual theory night where people could get together, talk through the basics, ask questions, and learn more about Western riding. We love hearing what members and prospective members would like to see, so that could be something to watch out for in the near future. 🍻📚

A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a success. Days like these remind us what a friendly, supportive and welcoming club we have. ❤️

We're already looking forward to the next Club Day on Sunday 5th July, same place, same time.

Whether you're brand new to Western riding, thinking about giving it a go, or have years of experience, we'd love to see you there! 🤠🐎
