Florice with her lovely 2nd placed Individual Dressage rosette; 2nd Tack & Turnout for Briony, Anna & Georgina;
Chiddingfold Farmers' Novice contingent in Cheshire
NATIONAL NOVICE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Cheshire, 28th/29th August
7 intrepid Novices, plus lots of supporters, set off for the Novice Championships in Cheshire on Friday for a weekend of competing in all disciplines. All travelled the long journey well and the Chid Farmers' extensive 'camp' was set up by the stables. The venue was stunning and despite numerous soakings we were lucky to compete in the limited dry spells and the wind kept the ground drying out when possible so that the going was good. Our dressage teams of Suzannah Monk (Rosie) Emily Brock (Jade) and Florice Cole Fontayn (Ben) started at the crack of dawn on Saturday, all looking immaculate, with Florice doing a fantastic test to give her 2nd in her arena, and Suzannah finished 18th. The second team followed later, equally looking immaculate, but obviously catching the judge's eye as they came 2nd in the Tack and Turn out competition by only one point. Briony Pearson (Bella), Georgina Ambrose (George) and Anna Passmore (Connor) all did nice tests with Briony finishing 9th and Georgina 15th. Suzanna had also qualified for the individual SJ with Willow and over the 2 rounds, which were well up to height, only had 1 pole down. The eventers then got going on Sunday, fortunately missing the deluge when the commentator actually admitted she couldn't see who was doing what as the rain was so bad!. Briony did a lovely test of 28.8, with Suzannah (back on Rosie), Alex Adams (Razzle) and Anna doing tests of nearly equal marks. The SJ was an amazing roller coaster track, the jumps actually having to be held up by people because of the wind, causing quite a few faults, but Suzannah jumped a beautiful clear, Briony only tipped a pole, Anna had a couple down and Razzle, for once showing respect for the fences, jumped really well. The XC was a long, hilly course that caught a lot out on fitness, beautifully built and testing, but our girls gave their horses lovely rides round, with only the water causing us (and many others) problems - not Razzle though, nothing was going to stop him! Well done everyone, a brilliant effort by all, and an experience to remember.
Congratulations to Alice Hanson for passing her B Test PONY CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS, Draycott House Derbyshire, 16th August
Congratulations to our Intermediate Dressage team, Alice Hanson riding Society Smooch, Ellie Lloyd-Jones riding Kilcarroll Lad and Harri Snelling riding Cleo D. It was their first time at the Championships and they all produced careful and well ridden tests. Alice was delighted to come joint 3rd in her arena and claimed that she never thought that dressage would be this exciting! The team came 6th in Tack and Turnout and proudly paraded in the main arena to collect their rosettes. The Open Eventing team of Hannah Murphy riding Spring Sunrise, Tots Hanson riding Leonard Curtis and Laura Normand riding Xanthus III walked the course two or three times carefully, looking at the very technical fences. They were helped by Mark Corbett who gave them all separate advice and lots of encouragement. They all produced good show jumping rounds only having one pole down each and Hannah and Tots went on to do brilliant clear rounds cross-country. Hannah ended being placed 2nd in her arena which was a brilliant result and Tots ended up 5th in hers. At the mounted prize giving 6 competitors were nominated for a Bursary Award for Horsemanship on the cross-country course and Tots was delighted to be one of them. The final day was the Intermediate Eventing and flying the flag for Chiddingfold Farmers was Ellie Lloyd-Jones and Kilcarroll Lad. They produced a beautiful dressage test and went on to do a good show jumping round but sadly retired on the cross country. Well done to you all, team spirit was there throughout the four days and we would all like to thank Kate and Anna for their support, without whom we really could not have managed such outstanding results.
In the Junior Horse and Pony Care competition our team of Megan Brown, Claudia Heanley and Heather Godman represented Area 13 and came 5th out of 20 teams which was very exciting. Thank you to Chloe for preparing them so well.
 
The Junior Horse & Pony Care Team at Draycott; Miya and Lara at Cowdray
Cowdray Hunt PC ODE, 15th August
Many congratulations to Lara Partridge, who won her Mini Mini section, and to Miya Halsey who came 2nd - stars for the future!
Well done to Olivia Moriano, who
came 8th at the British Dressage Inter Dressage Regionals for the Southern Region at Keysoe in July, she is the highest placed Fledgling the South have ever had. Well done also to Lara Partridge, who was the Mini Champion at the Cranleigh Show
  
Novices at Area SJ: Georgina, Anna, Briony, Suzannah, Alex, Emily & Julia; Intermediates Phoebe, Grace, Ellie and Holly
AREA SHOW JUMPING, BCA, 7th August
It was an extremely early start for the Open Team with Tack inspection at 7.45 and a huge disappointment when they realised that the 3rd member of the team, Katie Harper, was not coming as her horse had gone lame that morning, so Tots Hanson riding Leonard Curtis and Harri Snelling riding Cleo D competed as individuals. Both did beautiful clear rounds in the first round over a very tight, technical course but they both had poles down in the second round. The intermediate Team of Grace Lloyd Jones riding Classic Z , Ellie Lloyd Jones riding Kilcarrol Lad, Phoebe Fuller riding Dundee Sandstorm and Holly Carter riding Ulana B looked beautifully turned out for their tack inspection and were placed 5th. Ellie and Holly both did beautiful clear rounds in the first round over a big track and Holly went on to do a clear in the second round which was one of only a few double clears of the day. The final jump off was really exciting to watch, and Holly ended up being placed 6th which for her first Area event at this height was a brilliant result. Well done to you all for taking part - you really worked well together supporting each other on the team. The novice teams started the day with a very high standard in the Tack and Turn out competition, all 7 scoring 17 or more out of 20. This gave Suzannah, Georgina, Anna and Briony 3rd place out of 22 teams. The jumping course was spacious and inviting in the first round and Suzannah (Willow), Alex (Razzle), Julia (Jack) and Briony (Bella) all jumped clear with Georgina (George), Anna (Connor) and Emily (Jade) only making one mistake each. Time was tight on the course however so unfortunately Julia and Emily picked up a few extra time faults. In the second round Emily was determined not to let that happen again and jumped clear together with Suzannah again. Suzannah then went on to the individual jump off – should she or should she not cut in to the last fence to jump at an acute angle? Well she trusted Willow and made it look easy and finished 2nd, giving her her 3rd qualification for the National Championships. The team of Suzannah, Georgina , Briony and Anna finished an excellent 9th overall. Well done everyone. A special thank you to our President Marjorie Irby for coming to support us  
Delighted Intermediates at Area Dressage: Harri, Katie, Ellie, Susanna and Alice
First & Second placed Novices Georgie, Briony, Suzannah, Florice, Emily and Julia
AREA DRESSAGE, BCA, 29th July
The Novices have triumphed again, this time at the Area Dressage Qualifier at Berkshire College of Agriculture. All 7 competitors went home with huge smiles and an arm full of rosettes. In the warmup test Suzannah Monk came 1st, Anna Passmore, Georgina Ambrose and Briony Pearson came 2nd and Emily Brock and Florice Cole Fontayn came 3rd, an excellent warmup for the Area test and Team competition! They kept up the good work and high standards to achieve more brilliant scores in the Area test with Julia Normand, in her first competition at this level on her new pony, winning her arena, Florice and her new horse winning her arena and Georgina also winning her arena, closely followed by Briony 2nd, Emily 4th and Anna 5th. This gave our teams unbeatable scores with Emily, Florice and Julia winning and Suzannah, Anna, Georgina and Briony coming 2nd. Both teams therefore qualify for the National Championships in Cheshire, joining the Eventing team who have already qualified, so it's a double for Suzannah, Anna and Briony. Fantastic! The Open Team produced some good results: Pip Lewis riding Herberts Sweet William and Laura Normand riding Zanthus were 5th and Katie Harper riding Colin was 8th. Congratulations to the Intermediate team who were placed 2nd and qualified for the Pony Club Championships. Ellie Lloyd Jones riding Kilcarrol Lad did two beautiful tests and came 1st in both the warm up and the main test. Alice Hanson riding Society Smooch came 2nd in her main test, Susanna Milton came 3rd in her warm up test and 7th in the main test and Katie Patrick came 6th in her warm up test. Harri Snelling competed as an individual and came 8th in her main test. These were excellent results, well done to you all.

A huge amount of hard work went into these results and all our members deserved their successes. Good luck for the Championships!

Many congratulations to Hannah Murphy and Anna Lawson who have been selected for the squad to represent the
South East Region at the JRN Championships at Weston Park in October.
THE PONY CLUB MUSICAL RIDE COMPETITION, Stoneleigh, 11th July
A small but dedicated band of Chidd Farmers have been practicing hard with Kathy for weeks to produce a fabulous ride entitled 'A Kaleidoscope of Pony Club Colours'. We spent a fantastic weekend in Warwickshire together and had lots of fun, culminating in a brilliant 3rd place on the day. We had the confidence not to hide behind fancy costumes but concentrate on producing a true Pony Club Ride (rather than a dressage display), which both the commentator and a lovely onlooker said was the most technical of the competition and would have put the Household Cavalry to shame! A slight musical hitch cost us a few marks but the winning team was very strong. There lots of photos in the Gallery and we hope to repeat the ride for you all soon. There's even talk of entering the competition again next year! Our heartfelt thanks go to the dedication of both Kathy as trainer and Kate Lawson as costume designer.

Happy Intermediates at Smith's Lawn - Katie, Ellie, Indi and Alice
They waited for their results for several hours in searing heat and still managed to look impeccably smart!
GARTH HUNT & WOKINGHAM ODE, Smith's Lawn, 27th June
Ellie Lloyd Jones, Indi Thompson, Alice Hanson and Katie Patrick WON the Intermediate Horse Trials at Smiths Lawn and took home a well deserved shield. Team spirit was high as they supported each other through each phase in the soaring summer temperatures! Ellie and Kilcarrol Lad had the best dressage score of 21.5 in section A . Individually Alice and Society Smooch were placed 4th in section C and Katie and So Sue Me were placed 4th in section D. Indi and Cuffs Grange Original were 9th in section B. It was a really exciting day and with 15 teams taking part it was a brilliant result. WELL DONE to you all, and a special thank you to your parents for being so supportive .
PETERSFIELD ODE, Coombelands, 20th June
Well done to our 3 novices that went to the Petersfield ODE last weekend – Georgina Ambrose, Briony Pearson and Charlotte Murphy. All did very well going clear XC and only one mistake in the SJ, but the standard of dressage on the day was very high and with only 2 arenas being run this phase was very influential in the results. Both Briony and Charlotte have moved on to new horses, and the latter didn't have an easy time getting there, so a team placing of 8th was very pleasing. Individually Briony came a fantastic 3rd on her first attempt at a ODE on Bella – a star in the making! Georgina was just out of the placings 9th. We also had two individual Intermediates out, Ellie Lloyd Jones and Alice Hanson. Alice achieved an excellent dressage score of 26 but unfortunately had a stop and both girls were out of the placings.
2nd Placed Mini Team at Rogate - Rosie, Hannah, Bertie and Moses
CHIDDINGFOLD ODE, Rogate, 13th June
The Novice team (Georgina Ambrose, Suzanna Monk, Charlotte Cruickshank and Alex Adams) competed at a new testing and up to height Rogate course and did very well indeed to secure 7th place. There were many problems on the cross country for all teams, with new technical skinny combination fences and another section taking competitors into a very dark wooded area, but special mention should be made of Alex (individual 8th) who completed a wonderful xc clear round on Razzle. Our Mini Team of Moses Fiddian-Green on Major, Rosie Jameson on Malibu, Bertie Cole-Fontayn on Conker and Hannah Ede on Parsley all rode really well, turning in nice dressage tests and fabulous SJ and XC performances. The Team came 2nd, with Rosie coming 2nd in her section, Bertie 3rd in his and Hannah 8th in hers. There was also an Open 2'6 Class (Level 2) and we were absolutely delighted that both Tamara Chiltern-Hunt and Julia Normand WON their sections - a brilliant feat as they were both riding new ponies and their team, which included Annie Murphy and Becky Lewis, came 4th.
 
Our fantastic (and very smart!) Winning Open Team of Anna, Tots and Laura (L) and
2nd placed Intermediate Team of Grace, Indi and Holly (R) at Tweseldown.
GARTH SOUTH ODE, Tweseldown, 6th June

Our Intermediate team of Grace Lloyd Jones (5th individually), Indi Thompson and Holly Carter came 2nd, with Katie Harper also coming 1st in her section. A really brilliant result for Chiddingfold Farmers senior teams - well done everyone!
 
(L) Novice Showjumpers at Cowdray - Georgie, Izzi, Annie-Rose and Alex
(R) Hannah on Parsley
COWDRAY SJ, Selham, 3rd June
Our Novice showjumpers came a brilliant 8th on Thursday. There were lots of teams more experienced than ours but Georgie Ambrose led her inexperienced team members Issi Rennocks, Alex Adams and Annie-Rose Fiddian-Green to a great result as the Mummies sipped wine in the sunshine. Georgie went clear, Issi had a couple of stops and Annie-Rose just tipped a pole. Alex had an unfortunate 12 faults but had a lovely clear in the scurry. A great team for the future! We had two Mini teams competing - Annie Murphy on Rupert, Rosie Jameson on Malibu, Bertie Cole-Fontayn on Conker, Hannah Ede on Parsley, Rebecca Swain on Billy, Rosie Meadows on Woody and Luke Stent on Mouse were all turned out beautifully and tried their hardest. It turned out to be a good Learning Day and all our Minis got a lot out of the experience. Huge congratulations to Luke for riding two beautiful clear rounds and well done to Rebecca on her first outing as a member of a Mini Team

Open Showjumpers Anna, Tots & Harri - Suzannah at New Forest Tet
HICKSTEAD QUALIFIER, 30th May
Our Open team had a successful day, ending up 5th and only just missing out on qualifying. It was an incredibly competitive class and included some large fences and tight turns. Tots Hanson and Leonard Curtis did a beautiful double clear, Anna Lawson and Heart of Gold had just one pole down in the second round and they were joined by Harri Snelling and Cleo D. The team were placed 2nd in Tack & Turnout which they really deserved. The Intermediate team continued the high standard. Pip Lewis and Herberts Sweet William, Holly Carter and Ulana B and Katie Patrick and So Sue Me came 3rd in Tack & Turnout, but sadly after the warm up Herbie and Pip had to retire, which left our team with only two competitors. Holly rode a beautiful double clear and Katie just had a couple of unlucky poles. As it was a team event we were not placed, but well done to all. Thank you to all who came to support especially Jane Vile - it is always good to see you.
NEW FOREST TET, 25th May
Intermediate - Charlie Chichester Kaner came 8th individually and his team 3rd. The Junior girls team came 3rd.

Hannah after her brilliant Open win at Hambleden
SOUTH OXFORDSHIRE HUNT SOUTH ODE, Hambleden, 23rd May.
Congratulations to Hannah Murphy and Spring Sunrise who WON their section. It was their first time representing Chiddingfold farmers at Open level and they produced an excellent dressage test and a beautiful double clear. Anna Lawson and Heart Of Gold received Best Dressage in their section and together with Victoria Hanson and Leonard Curtis the Open team came 4th - well done to you all. Sadly we were unable to send an Intermediate team due to injuries, but Holly Carter and Ulana B and Katie Patrick and So Sue Me went as individuals. It was their first time out competing at this level. Holly had a beautiful show jumping round but did not get past the notorious Hambleden Quarry. Katie had one down show jumping but completed the XC with only one minor run out. Well done to you both for some excellent riding.
AREA MOUNTED GAMES, Eashing, 23rd May
Well done to our Junior Team of Hannah Ede, Giselle Stent, Heather Godman, Olivia Leaning and Emma Thornton who came 2nd in the Tack & Turnout. They have been practicing hard and will be a strong team in the future.
Julia and Katarina at Bisley
BISLEY ODE, 9th May
Well done to our Minis and their wonderful supporters - it was really thrilling to have so many fathers cheering on our teams! Thank you for coming Paul, Michael, Nigel, John and Mark. Our Tigers team of Rosie Meadows on Mouse, Savannah Sartori on Fred and Holly Powell on Autumn all rode their socks off to come 4th in the team competition. Savannah and Holly deserve huge congratulations for completing their first ever One Day Event, and both of them rode brilliantly to come 5th individually in their respective arenas, with good dressage tests and fabulous double clears. Rosie came 8th individually in her arena. Our Lions team of Rosie Jameson on Malibu, Hannah Ede on Parsley III and Bertie Cole-Fontayn on Conker all rode well to come 6th in the team competition. Rosie showed all of us how it should be done by coming 2nd Individually in her arena with a very good dressage and a lovely double clear. Six Novices also took part. Christopher, Suzannah and Anna Passmore all did excellent low 30s dressage tests with Katarina close on their heels, but unfortunately for Georgina, George was not his usual self and she had to retire. All show jumped well but hopes were dashed as the famous spooky water claimed many casualties, including Suzannah and Anna. Katarina rode her new horse really positively to get round clear and Julia Normand, in her first Novice event, did a determined clear on Jack. Eventually, late into the evening, results were given out and Katarina finished 3rd, Julia 5th and Christopher 7th.
 
Novices Pip, Suzannah & Georgina (Chris was the 4th Team member)

CFPC ODE, Coombelands, 2nd May
Very well done to our Mini Team of Annie Murphy on Rupert, Hannah Ede on Parsley III, Bertie Cole-Fontayn on Conker and Goldie Fiddian-Green on Major who, as numbers one, two, three and four, blazed a trail getting the Horse Trials off to a fantastic start. Individually Annie and Rupert were 4th in their section, Goldie and Major were 7th in theirs and Bertie and Conker were 8th in theirs. Huge congratulations to Annie who ended the day on just her dressage score and Bertie who completed his first ever One Day Event. The Novices brought a shine to the proceedings - unfortunately for the Blue team - Suzannah Monk, Christopher Milton, Georgina Ambrose and Pip Lewis - the XC warm up area directly behind the arena caused a few advanced dressage movements from the horses at uncalled for moments and scores were down on their usual standard. However they picked up well with brilliant SJ and XC to finish 6th. Individually Suzannah came 5th, Pip and Georgina 7th. Our Pink team of Katarina Chichester Kaner, Anna Passmore, Charlotte Cruickshank and Becky Cruickshank also rode well and have gained some good experience with their new mounts. Katarina and Anna both had excellent dressage scores. Annie Fiddian Green also competed in her first novice event having moved up from minis and Rebecca Lewis (8th), Issi Rennocks (4th), Holly Partridge (6th) and Tamara Chiltern Hunt did very well in the smaller height class.. Well done everyone. Well done also to our Intermediate team - Emily Stovold and Lucky Cliff came 2nd, Harri Snelling and Cleo D 3rd, Phobe Fuller and Dundee Sandstorm 6th and Beth Stevens and Springtime Onya 8th. These great results put the team into 5th which was an excellent start to the season.
MID SURREY TET, April
Savannah Sartori came 5th out of 17 at her first Tet. Thanks to Charlie Chichester Kaner's excellent shooting coaching she came joint 2nd in the shoot and was also joint 3rd in the swim.

GOODWOOD SHOW JUMPING, Crofton Manor, 12th April.
Our Mini Team of Hannah Ede on Parsley III, Rosie Jameson on Malibu, Bertie Cole-Fontayn on Conker and Helena Traill on Katie had the most fantastic first outing of the year. All of them were turned out beautifully and rode really well. In the warm up class, Hannah on Parsley and Rosie on Malibu rode brilliantly in the speed section of this Two Phase competition to come 5th and 6th respectively - out of 40 competitors! In the team competition our team rode two spectacular rounds; the first to achieve a team score of zero and get into the jump off, and the second against the clock over a shortened course. All four of them rode with great gusto and the team ended the day in 4th place. Bertie should be commended on jumping three clear rounds and Helena for gaining only 4 faults in the whole competition.
Our Junior Mounted Games Team of Olivia Leaning, Hannah Ede, Heather Godman and Giselle Stent had a brilliant day on 11th April, coming 5th in our competition at Eashing.
Well done to Megan Brown, Claudia Heanley, Rebecca Lewis, Helena Traill, Aimee Hammond-Essery and Rosie Allen who have all passed their C Test with very good feedback.

Our new trainer Chloe Collins stepped into Kathy's shoes in great style, seeing her well prepared teams do very well at the weekend. In the Quiz our teams finished equal 2nd on points, and 6th, but unfortunately after a 'sudden death' tiebreaker the Pink team dropped from 2nd to 5th. In the Horse & Pony Care in the afternoon our Senior team again finished equal 2nd on points but dropped to 3rd after the tiebreaker, whilst our Junior Team WON! Very well done to all and thank you for all the hard work you put in to train for this. This is our first qualification for the Championships in the Summer.

CRAWLEY & HORSHAM SHOW JUMPING, Sands Farm 16/17th February
Our Two Novice teams had a good day out. Becky Cruickshank, Suzannah Monk, Lilli Meadows and Maddie Iafrate made up the Blue team and Claudia Heanley, Briony Pearson, Emily Brock and Ellie Lloyd Jones made up the Pink team. In the individual scurry six out of the eight riders went clear but unfortunately no one was fast enough to gain a placing. In the first round of the team competition Briony, Emily and Ellie went clear with Claudia just having one pole down but battling on despite losing a stirrup mid way and jumping the next few jumps with just one! All four of the Blue team jumped clear in the first round which meant both teams went through to the jump off. All four riders jumped off and in the Pink team Briony and Ellie jumped clear and the team finished on 4 faults. All four of the Blue team jumped lovely clear rounds and were placed 5th! Everyone enjoyed the day and showed great team spirit and the sun even came out which made a nice change
It was another rainy and cold day at Sands Farm, but 4 of our Intermediates braved the weather conditions and performed superbly! In the warm up class Indi, Georgie and Phoebe jumped lovely clear rounds with Katie only tipping one pole. In the team class Indi, Phoebe and Katie went clear with Georgie having one unlucky stop that resulted in a graceful dismount! 4 of the 10 teams went into the jump off and Indi, Phoebe and Katie performed amazingly well again with 3 more clear rounds to secure us a fabulous and well deserved SECOND PLACE!!!!!! - from a very proud Team Leader !
Welcome to our new Assistant DC, Kate Lawson
Well done to Emily Brock, Heather Godman, Charlotte Murphy, Hannah Ede, Maddie Iafrate and Rosie Meadowns who were the Best Turned Out in each of the rides at the Rally on 16th February. The standard was generally extremely high, so thank you all for making such an effort in such horrible weather. To those who forgot jackets, hairnets, plain numnahs, joddy clips etc please remember next time.
Intermediates Katie, Katarina, Phoebe and Suzannah finally enjoying the sunshine at the Rob Stevens Training on 17th January. We are very lucky to be able to use the Lawsons' fabulous school - after all the snow and thaw the surface was perfect
We are a delighted to report that Ben Leathers has agreed to be our Chief Instructor.
He has lots of exciting plans for us in 2010
ARDINGLY SHOW JUMPING 3rd January
Eight of our members braved the ice to compete at this very popular competition. Our team of Tots, Anna, Grace and Harri had a good day to finish 4th in the 3'3 class, whilst Georgie, Ellie, Alice and Indi had a good first outing at this height, with Indi being the only one of the 8 to go double clear. Thanks also to Sally Thurloway for being there for them - it makes all the difference to our success in this competition every year, and also Jane Vile who nobly made the trip to support our teams.
Well done to Beth Stephens, Alice Hanson and Charlotte Cruickshank for being Best Turned Out at the 31st December Rally. Quite a few members were without their Pony Club badge, which is an important part of correct turnout, so if you have lost yours or would like a second one for a different jacket, please contact Jane Vile. We said goodbye to our wonderful DC Rosie and welcomed our new DC Lisa.
Congratulations to Phoebe Fuller for winning the Points Prize and a lesson with Sally Thurloway at our Showjumping Show - for the second time. Phoebe said that it was thanks to her previous prize lesson with Sally that she jumped so well again this time!
