Dear Members,
Welcome to the Autumn 2010 edition of HoofPrint!
As we go to print with this newsletter, summer events are just getting into full swing and for those
of you who compete, the first Area competitions will soon be underway!
On our ‘home’ calendar, we have already held a highly successful Senior Clinic at Rawlins Farm
with Mark Corbett, preparing our Open and Intermediate level riders for their Area competitions. It
was a busy couple of days but very valuable in terms of fine-tuning horses and team building. We
have also enjoyed a great ‘Members Only Mock Area Dressage’ competition at Phillippa
Chamings’ home, with a good turnout of members running through tests at every level – with
feedback from their judges and warming-up by our trainer, Liz Diegutis. We will certainly repeat
this type of event – thanks to Frances Hatton-Brown who organised it despite being at the Senior
Clinic for the two days before! The outside judges were genuinely impressed by our standards and
the competent riding so well done everyone!
During the last half-term holiday, Denise Smith and her team ran a lovely Vine Open Show at Park
Farm, Oakley. Several other local branches had to cancel similar shows due to lack of numbers but
we held on and in the end had a busy day with plenty of entries. It was particularly good to join
Park Farm Centre members on their home territory and as usual we were given a warm welcome
and every help from the Park Farm staff. Thank you! Also in half-term, several members
successfully completed PC tests/badges and we are continuing to organise preparation for tests and
test days for everyone – but please let us know if you would like to join in! They are fun to do and
will really develop your confidence and knowledge of riding and caring for your pony/horse. They
cater for all levels and ages!
East End Camp is gearing up for five days (four for minis) of instruction, fun and a few surprises! I
hope you all have a lovely time! There are also plenty of rallies and activities to enjoy with your
ponies over the next few months as well as Hickstead Team Show Jumping, the Southern Novice
Championships and the Southern Mini Team Championships.
Still looking forward, the schedule for our Vine Mini One Day Event (and Mini Mini Combined
Training) on Wednesday 1 September is now available on our website at www.pcuk.org/vine.
Numbers for the ODE are always limited to ensure a good day out for all with adequate parking etc
so I strongly advise early entry. If you would like to help on the day or setting up the day before,
please let organiser Maggie Richardson or me know.
Following feedback from parents at last year’s AGM and Presentation Evening, we have been
posting local schedules on our website as we get them and, for those of you who compete, I hope
you have found this useful. Please email Sally with any schedules you find to share!
Finally, I am delighted to announce that Deborah (Bo) de Groot has kindly agreed to take on the
role of Treasurer following Steve Davies’ decision to step down. Thank you Steve for your past
work for the branch and welcome Bo to the committee. Thank you for joining us!
Best wishes for a happy and successful time with your horses and ponies,
Linda

Trips to HOYS and OLYMPIA We have been very lucky this year in that we
are able to offer members the opportunity to
join organised trips to both HOYS and
Olympia.
Park Farm – HOYS & Olympia Trip 2010
As in recent years Park Farm are
looking to run trips to both Horse of
the Year Show (6-10th October) and
Olympia (14th – 20th December) in
2010. These trips in previous years
have been a huge success. (The
Olympia trip is usually on the
Saturday)
A lot of organization goes into making
these trips such a success so we ask
that if you are interested in attending
one or both of these, that you contact
Claire Brassett via the office on 01256
780375 so that we can get an initial
idea of numbers in order to book
tickets and a coach.
OLYMPIA – FRIDAY 17TH DECMEBER
Or we are able to offer the following trip organised by Jenny Stevens the mother
of one of our members who has arranged many successful trips to Olympia in the
past - leaving Peak House Farm RG28 7QJ at approximately 9am arriving 10.30 to
11.00 time for a couple of hours shopping before the performance at 1pm
leaving approximately 5pm returning 7.30ish depending on traffic cost
approximately £30 to include coach and admission to show, if you are interested please let Jenny know by 1st September e-mail [email protected]
or 01256 892052
Social Evening – Wednesday 29th September – All parents invited
We thought it would be nice if we could all
meet informally over a drink with out a pony
and child in tow! Please join us for a drink at
Queen’s College Arms, Aldermaston Road,
Pamber End, RG26 5QR at 8pm to catch
up with the summer gossip!
Stop Press!! As we go to print with this edition I have just
heard that our Open Area Dressage Team
have won the Area 13 competition and are
heading up to the nationals on August 14th
–
Well done and Good Luck to them all
Georgia Hatton-Brown
Siena Hatton- Brown
Annabel Chamings
Dominic Robinson
Congratulations to our Intermediate and
Novice Teams who also did very well
although failed to clinch a trip up North! –
full results to follow.
New Website We are now up and running with a new
website redesigned by HQ! You can access it
using the same link www.pcuk.org/vine At
present it will then redirect you to a new page
but I am told that it will soon revert to the
above address! As I receive schedules from
neighbouring pony clubs and local
organisations I will post a copy on the page
marked local schedules. Please keep an eye
on this page as I will not be forwarding other
schedules by email.
I will also have a page for items for sale by
members, so please let me know if you have
any horsy items for sale (any Vine clothing
that is now outgrown?).

Congratulations to “Boy” and Georgia Hatton-Brown This spring Georgia took Boy to Longleat BE event and competed at Intermediate Level. This
means a pretty stiff dressage test, show jumping to max height 1.25m and cross country1.15m. All
very large for a little pony! However after a passable dressage he had 4 faults show jumping and
clear cross country with a very few time faults – boy did he gallop! He finished a very creditable
11th and considering his nearest height competitor was 15.2hh
His owner Sue Anderson was so
excited by his performance she wrote
the poem below to celebrate!
He's the Connemara raider The little freckled man They all said "Just a pony" "Couldn't do it" - but he can!
Confident and cocky - And a nightmare on the flat He shows no fence can daunt him And he clears them - just like that.
With G on board to guide him The bond so strong, of course - He'll wing it round those fences And prove that he's a horse
"Is that just a pony?" They ask her all the time "Yes, he's only 14.1 -
But, believe me, he can shine".
