Thanks to Katherine Emmett for the words and photo. Please parents it is depressing and time-consuming for me to have to keep putting in "Withheld" links instead of your childrens' names. I have to do this unless I have written permission from you to publish your child's name online, as this is required by the UK Pony Club's child protection rules. If you click on any Withheld link it will take you to a page explaining this policy, and it also gives a link to a downloadable form that you can fill in and send to me giving permission to publish. So for the price of a stamp and 60 seconds of effort you can see your child's achievements being praised online... Tiverton PC webmaster. |

Tiverton Pony Club head for UK Championships! Tiverton Pony Club fielded four strong teams at the Area 15 Eventing competition held at Bicton Arena on 27th July. Competing against other Pony clubs from Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall in dressage, show jumping and cross country for a chance to attend the National Championships held at Cholmondeley Castle, Cheshire in August. The Junior team of Henry Clist, Joe Emmett and Alice Smith proved a win was possible with excellent cross country riding in particular and a great result for such a young team at their first Area Eventing. Whilst the Novice team of Withheld, Heidi Stevens, Lewis Drew and Polly Muirhead were sadly just out of the ribbons, the Intermediate team of Saskia Partridge, Charlotte Radley and Bird Wood gained 4th place with Bird qualifying for the Championships as an individual in 2nd place. The show jumping and cross country proved very influential as Charlotte and Bird along with two others were the only ones to gain a double clear inside the time in their class of over 50 competitors. The Open team of Amelia Green, Rupert Batting, Will Smith and Withheld were impressive to watch over the largest track of the day. Ellie 6th individual and Will proved their ability, with great performances across the country, having just reached this level of competition. Amelia and Rupert, 4th individual, providing experience at this height to help secure the team win. They are both aiming for Hartpury CCI2* as their next competition before the Championships later in August. The combined efforts of the whole team resulted in a unanimous victory, securing the coveted honour to represent Area 15 in the Open Eventing team competition at the Championships. |

Well, didn't we all do well!
Our ODE at Bicton on Saturday 12 July was a huge success and I need to
say thank you very much to all our helpers and parents for making it such
a lovely day for us all. We have already received several e-mails of thanks
from competitors who have said it was well run, kept to time and was a
day much enjoyed by them. Special thanks need to go to our organiser Annabel
Brooks-Ward and our secretary Gill Murphy for all their hard
work and dedication before and during the event.
From a committee point of view it was a huge undertaking both financially
and for the manpower needed. The weather was kind to us, the competitors
came forward, the help was available and I'm pleased to say we had a tremendously
successful day for club funds. The aim of the committee will be to put
these funds to good use replacing and repairing some of our older equipment
so that riders of all levels and abilities can benefit.
And that's not all! With over 220 competitors over the 4 classes, Henry
Clist and Rough Terrain were 1st and Best Tiverton in Class 1, Polly
Muirhead and Grace were 8th and Best Tiverton in class 2, Charlotte
Radley and Little M were 1st and Best Tiverton in Class 3 and Will Smith and Tutor Rascal were 1st and Best Tiverton in class 4. Very well done
to you and your ponies and horses. I've got high hopes for the Area Eventing
competition on 28 July with the teams and individuals that are competing
for Tiverton.
Whilst we can now all enjoy a short break and rest on our laurels for
a day or so please don't forget to come forward and offer your support
and help for all the other events that are happening this Summer. We have
2 camps, Area
Showjumping, our Pony Club
Show and the Mini
Tet/Tri still to come so lots to get involved in.
Just one final note and a gentle reminder to us all. Whilst I know that
all the Pony Club members from all clubs behaved very well on Saturday,
unfortunately one or two Riding Club members did not. Some of our helpers
experienced serious verbal abuse and other unacceptable behaviour from
some older competitors. I have written to the BHS this morning expressing
my concerns about this behaviour. Please remember that all of the helpers
are volunteers, they generously give up a day of the busy lives to come
and help, without them we could not have enjoyable successful days so
please remember to be patient and polite at all times.
Best wishes

Assistant DC Tiverton Pony club
A total of 10 Tiverton members competed in the recent South Devon Pony Club competition with the shooting and running being held at Stover School, swimming at Bovey Tracey and the cross country riding at Widdicombe.
Rebecca Emmett, Withheld and Katie Heal took part in the Biathlon. It was a first event for both Rebecca and x, and as a team the 3 girls came a very respectable 4th with Katie coming 7th individually.
Jack Emmett put in outstanding effort to achieve the best run narrowly beating Jessica Grant by 2 seconds. The cross country riding was rather more demanding and x and Fiona Weddon both did fantastically to ride clear rounds in their first ever attempts. Jack did very well to remount after an unexpected flying dismount and this did not impact negatively on his scores, resulting in him being placed 1st individually. Jessica was placed 3rd and Fieona 6th and the team came 5th across all the age ranges which was a superb result.
In the more advanced riding group Emma Bainbridge
was placed 5th individually, Katie Bainbridge and William Hopper
also put in a very strong performance.
Lydia Hopper was the lone representative over the larger jumping
course. She put in a tremendous performance on a new horse to achieve
5th individually.
