London And south East Dressage Qualifier - 21st July 2018
Well done to all of our WSRC Dressage competitors who took part in the London and South East Dressage Qualifiers at Pachesham on Saturday. We watched some great tests from the WSRC teams and it was wonderful to see some new faces representing our club. We hope you will all be back out with us again soon! Chipstead Riding Club did an amazing job of running the event, completely changing the set up plans last minute from grass to surface to make it safe for all riders and their horses due to the hard ground.
We are very proud to say the 'Chilworth Chicks' team of Sophie Tack, Rebecca Attridge, Julie Johnson and Louise Hollington came a credible 7th in the L&SE competition, missing out on 6th place by just two marks. Our other team the A'lbury Aces' including Lizzy Crossan, Judith Dunne, Jacquie Fabb and Lisa Vanoli put up a great fight with impressive 60+ scores which at any ‘normal’ competition would have been highly competitive! Well done to Julie and her horse Romeo for placing 4th in the Riding Test class. Thank you to all our members for competing and supporting each other, as always we had a fun day out and bottles of fizz to celebrate!
Thank you to Christopher Lee for the wonderful photographs of our WSRC members competing in the Dressage.

Dressage to Music Qualifier at Plumpton College - 15th July 2018
Thank you to Vikki and Jenny for representing WSRC at the Area 13 Dressage to Music Qualifier. A big congratulations to Vikki and her horse Beauty for scoring 69% placing 1st in their class, qualifying for the finals at Sands Farm on the 21st October. We will all be there to cheer you along! A huge well done to Jenny for an amazing 2nd place in her two complex Novice classes, we are waiting to hear if she has qualified for the Dressage to Music Championships.
Jenny and Gero had to go into the more complex Novice class at the National Dressage to Music Qualifier due to a couple of pesky BD points they had accidentally acquired in the past. The floor plan had had a few tweaks and it was new music so after a short warm up, due to the heat they set off down the centre line to Karl Jenkins. Jenny quoted "I remembered to halt which is always good and then off we went. The problem is I can never remember whether I am supposed to go left or right at C but decided on left this time, it doesn't actually matter as the test is symmetrical. So circle here, circle there, left a bit, right a bit, little bit of walk, lots of canter and then done."
It would be great if we could get more members doing this, both Vikki and Jenny thoroughly enjoyed the event. Jenny said "I would be keen to do pairs with someone, either dressed up or in normal show clothing" if you are interested in future Dressage to Music events please let us know.

Friendly Show Jumping competition at Elstead Showground - 11th November 2017
Tanya Creaye-Griffin rode Tom as an individual in the 85cms class and Pili Spiers rode in the 95cms class on My Boy Sonny and came a very respectable 4th!

Thank you to Christopher Lee for creating the wonderful photomontages you displayed at the AGM showing all our members memories of 2017. Thank you for capturing new photographs at the AGM.
We received a great turnout to the WSRC AGM including a rider pilates session run by Lottie Betchley. Everyone really enjoyed the session and it started the evening off energetically! We hope to be able to invite Lottie back to the club soon as we definitely thought her session was a hit. If you are interested in finding out more, please visit www.chappsphysio.co.uk
Team Managers and Committee members all gave reports on activity and the finances were presented. Thanks to those members how shared their experiences and ideas on the day. The evening was finished off with the presentation of our wonderful awards.

Dressage Intermediate Qualifier at Sands Farm - 14th October
Congratulations to Caitlin Fahy and her horse Shaun for placing 1st in the Junior Prelim and 1st in the Junior Novice at the National Qualifier!
We had a senior team full of wonderful friendly riders compete in the Dressage. We are not a club of pot hunters... we work hard to show improvement and take every rosette with gratitude rather than expectation. The one thing I am always proud of is our ability to share laughter, tears, compliments and most of all support for each other. At 6.30pm we were the only club in the area to have 7 people still on site supporting each other and other area club competitors even though we were not in contention for a team place. Julie called on support today and WSRC people turned up, the team practiced and were beautifully turned out and Chris as always stood all day taking photographs. We may not win but we take part, we may not have success every time but a day catching up with WSRC friends and their horses is always a happy day! Thank you Rebecca Attridge, Lauren Louise Spinks, Tina Pendle and Sarah Mylne.
Well done to Caitlin Fahy for battling her chest infection and having a good day and a huge thank you to Julie Johnson for organizing our riders and to Vikki Chuter, Ro Major, Judith Dunne and Christopher Lee for being the support team!
Thank you to Chris for the fabulous photographs of our members doing their Dressage tests.
