WSRC had a fantastic day in the sunshine at the Championships. It was lovely to see our 3 teams beautifully turned out, riding really well and most of all, smiling & having lots of fun. To top the day off we received lots of rosettes as teams and individuals. The WSRC Horse Trials Team were placed 5th, the WSRC Riding Test Team came 6th place and the Dressage Team came 10th. Caitlin stole the show with a stunning performance winning the Dressage class as an individual! The full report of the day is on our blog.
A huge thank you goes out to our many helpers, Ro, Pili, Nicola, Sarah, Jacquie, Will, Katherine, Cathy, Ella & Lily for giving up your time to help on the day so ou r members could compete. Thank you to Christopher Lee who must have walked miles in order to photograph as many of our riders as possible. A big thank you to Julie Johnson and Claire Stratford for all your hard work organising the Dressage and Horse Trials teams.

Dressage:
There were 18 teams from all over the South East so we had good competition!

The team smiled, rode accurately and came away with a 6th place rosette! Congratulations to Tina Pendle, Rebecca Attridge, Lizzy Crossan and Caitlin Fahy who came 3rd over all! Well done everyone for working through the haze of what a Riding Test actually is!!
Our prelim team were up next. Well done to Vikki Chuter, Judith Dunne, Lisa Vanoli and Caitlin Fahy placing 10th as a team. Lisa also came 7th in her arena so plenty more to come from this combination!! Caitlin stole the show with a stunning performance winning the class and helping the team to come 10th!

WSRC ran their annual Open Dressage Show at Merrist Wood Arena on Friday. A massive thank you goes to Sarah Fisher and her team of helpers for very well organised event which was really fun and enjoyable for everyone.
We had a large number of lovely WSRC members competing in teams and as individuals. A big ccongratulations to the WSRC bunnies who came 4th! We are very proud of you and delighted to have so many new (and returning) faces to the teams this year! It's great to see so many of you improve and continuing on your horsey journeys. We had a great day and the support team were incredible! Thank you to everyone involved.
Lovely feedback from Christina "Thank you so much to everyone involved for Friday. I had a really fun day. Everyone helping was so friendly, and there was plenty of encouragement towards my participation in the team. Thank you to Christopher for taking a set of wonderful pictures, and to Julie for being such a supportive team manager. I know it was a really long day so it's amazing that when I came back several hours later to collect my test, everyone was still equally smiley and friendly. Thank you"
Thank you Christopher Lee for taking beautiful photographs as a keepsake of the day. Please follow this link :

A massive congratulations to our incredibly talented WSRC Dressage riders Lisa and Caitlin Fahy for both riding beautifully in the BRC Dressage Championships at Keysoe.

Caitlin and Shaun competed in their class the following day finishing 5th in the Junior Novice Championships. Well done ladies!

Sunday 12th February 2017 - Sands Farm Winter Show Jumping
Congratulations to West Surrey Riding Club on achieving 4th place in the 80-85cm team show jumping.
The team did a great job to come 4th out of 13 teams. First round we had 3 clears with a rolled pole for Samantha Petri. The second round Elizabeth Schilling checked that the course builders were paying attention by accidentally demolishing a whole fence! Sam was saved by her pony when she almost missed her fence and her pony did an awesome turn and jumped the fence clear at an incredible angle finishing her round clear. Ella Jarvis had a very unlucky rolled pole in what otherwise was a safe round. Mouse and Tina once again went clear. With the best 3 scores counting that gave us a second round total of 4 faults. No jump off for us but we came 4th, calculated by the sum of the speeds of our fastest 3 riders 2nd rounds. But most importantly we had fun, laughed, and froze together. Being part of team does make show jumping more fun as it gives you someone to support between your rounds and someone to cheer you on when it’s your turn.
