EDITOR’S COMMENT

I

know we all say it every year…but where did the season go?

After a rather wet start to the competition season, we have had scorching weather in the past few weeks, and some fabulous rides over stunning countryside, I have been very envious of those who are out competing.

Coming to the end of the season means a round up of the ride reports, and there are some excellent stories to be told, along with photos to remind us of the day.

As we look back over the season, and appreciate all the lovely venues and routes we have ridden, just take a moment to consider how fortunate we are to have access to this open countryside or forest land.

Then take another moment to think about the riding routes that you use around your home or yard. The Public Right of Way.

Sixteen years ago, we were informed that in 2026, the Definitive Map will close, and no more historic PRoWs will be added. In 2000 that seemed such a long time away. As we approach the start of 2017, it doesn’t seem very long at all. Are there routes around your neighbourhood that should be on there? Can you do anything to ensure that you don’t lose that access?

Raising awareness, keeping routes open and generally encouraging others to do the same, Catriona Cook is riding the coastal paths to bring this to our attention, and you can read more about the campaign run by the Byways and Bridleways Trust, in this issue.

Please don’t be complacent about this; without the bridleways and rights of way, we would have nowhere to ride, except with specific permission. So many

routes have been lost; downgraded to footpaths, built over, never claimed, turned into roads or simply extinguished as no one was using them. Endurance riders are surely uniquely positioned to support campaigns to restore historic routes to the map.

Be a voice, be heard, keep your PRoWs open!!

As you are reading this, Red Dragon will be about to happen, and then we will be on the run up to the Awards and AGM weekend. There is information about that in this issue.

Remember to vote for the proposals, remember to vote for those who will represent you on the Board in the coming months. Think about that…what do you want your representatives to do? Make your views known.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the last few competitions of the season, and then catching up at the AGM!

VIEWS FROM THE CHAIR

VIEWS FROM THE CHAIR Dear Members We are now at the end of another very busy riding season where no doubt you have all had some successes and some disappointments, but have continued to enjoy and learn about our wonderful sport. Once again we must keep recognising the efforts of all the volunteers that come together to provide the rides and other events that enable us to participate.

As we approach the Annual General Meeting, I wish to extend my thanks to the members of the Board, all of whom have worked hard to administer the organisation.

The smaller and restructured Board has proved to be a success, although there is more work to do to make sure we operate more efficiently.

My special thanks this year goes to Olwen Bryer, who has worked tirelessly and efficiently in the EGB Office for the past five years, providing an excellent service to our membership. Olwen is off to New Zealand to work there for at least twelve months. She will be sadly missed but I wish her well in her exciting adventure.

It is encouraging that our membership figures have grown for the second year. Our focus for next year must continue to be on increasing new membership, membership retention and participation. The Board has some exciting announcements to make at the AGM which it hopes will contribute to an increase in all three of these areas during 2017. Increasing participation in equestrian sport as a whole remains a key objective of the British Equestrian Federation, so Endurance GB should play our part. Indeed, we can all play a part as individuals by encouraging just one person to join and be part of the endurance community in 2017. Go on – go for it!!

Following the AGM, we will be able to celebrate the successes of the season and thank our volunteers who give so much to the sport by attending the Awards Dinner.

This is an excellent opportunity for us all to meet socially.

In closing I thank you to each and every member for supporting Endurance GB this year. Please remember that there are many ways in which you can assist the organisation further, perhaps by working at a ride, by being a member of a Group Committee, by being a member of a Board Sub-Committee or simply by recruiting one new member. We cannot do it without you!

Ride on & on with IRON RICH

vitaFerrin HIGH IN VITAMINS

Maintain Peak Performance “Barik is a very fussy eater but vitaFerrin is the first supplement he hasn’t turned his nose up at. He is looking fantastic on it with bright eyes and a shiny coat.

He is feeling stronger than he has ever felt and has pulled at every competition he has been to this year. I definitely think this is from the support given

by NAF products to enable him to compete at peak performance and for long durations which is vital for an endurance horse.”

NAF’s veterinary and nutritional specialists have developed vitaFerrin as an appropriate and effective nutritional solution to help optimise horses’ performance levels. vitaFerrin is iron rich and fortified with vitamins and minerals to maximise training and performance potential and has the added immune system support of yucca and echinacea.

Feed vitaFerrin to maintain peak performance

ENDURANCE NEWS NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR Social Media Award Members of the public are invited to nominate the equestrian company they think runs the best social media campaigns for the TSM Social Media Award. They could have the cutest pictures, fantastic films and heaps of competitions, offer great advice and boast a Facebook page that’s a joy to visit or a Twitter feed that’s packed with tasty comments and the very latest news.

This exciting BETA Business Award is devised by the British Equestrian Trade Association to reward individuals and companies making significant contributions to the equestrian industry.

Tim Smith, of award sponsor TSM, said: “Social media is becoming an ever-increasing part of the marketing mix, whether

INTRO TO ENDURANCE AT BELVOIR HUNT PONY CLUB Junior and Mini Camp 2016 Fiona Videla and Belvoir Pony Club organised their first PC Endurance ride a 3km Level 1 Robin Ride around Buckminster Estate. Over 50 children aged 4-13yrs old took part in their first ever endurance ride, practising the skills of trotting up, horse fitness, map reading and using equipment such as heart rate monitors. The children all passed their‘ Intro to Endurance’ badge, which is a great pathway and introduction in the sport.

Feedback from the families and children who took part focuses on the confidence and enjoying the freedom to ride across the estate within a safe supervised environment. The children have requested a longer route for 2017 at next years camp, which has now been planned and agreed.

PC Endurance will also be introduced to next years seniors camp and a variety of PC Endurance rides will be introduced to the rally calendar.

PC Endurance rides can be organised by the PC Branch or with EGB through groups and RO. It really helps to have an EGB member who has children actively involved in a PC to be the contact to introduce an activity to a branch. The PC will need help from an experienced individual to plan a suitable route, help with maps and route marking. It’s very simple to set up and enjoyed by all the families.

PC Endurance rides which are run by a PC the accompanying adults ride free. It would be a good idea if EGB did the same to encourage a young age group and families to take part.

promoting a product, brand, event or service, and it is great to see that the equestrian and related communities have embraced this medium in recent years.”

BETA executive director Claire Williams added: “The Social Media category was added to the BETA Business Awards last January and it has been extremely well received, continuing to attract considerable interest across the board.”

Nominations, stating why you think a company deserves to win, should be made online at www.beta-uk.org or by emailing laurac@beta-int.com. The deadline is 2 December 2016.

The winner of the award will be announced during the BETA Gala Dinner, at the National Motorcycle Museum, near Birmingham, on Sunday 22 January.

Bon Voyage To Olwen The time to say good bye has finally arrived, and it is with mixed emotions that I sit at my desk to write this, knowing that what has become a big part of my normal routine is rapidly coming to an end. Change is a healthy thing and by the time you read this I will have started my next adventure! I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last five years working for you and, though it hasn’t always been easy, I have treasured every moment and I will look back with fond memories. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you by watching you progress and doing my little bit to help you along your way.

So, thank you to those of you who give up your time up to run or help at rides, and/ or to stand on the board or committees - you really are the glue!

Thank you to those who have given me opportunities to ride over the years – those moments made me feel alive! Thank you for all the friendships, the laughs, and the lessons! Lastly, thank you to those of you who took the time to say thank you to me – you kept me sane and gave me meaning!

MEET EMMA! As we say “Farewell” to Olwen, a new face (or voice) will be taking on the admin role in the EGB Office. Welcome to Emma Darwood, who will be in place by the time you are reading this.

Emma is 30 years old, and has two children, Joseph and Elise. She has ridden and owned horses all her life, switching from English to Western in 1997. She has two American Quarter Horses, Zips Dollie Pep and Leaguerly Zippin, and shows on the International circuit.

Emma has previously worked for equestrian membership organisations and has also served on the Board of Directors for AQHA UK. Official members publication for Endurance GB

INVISIBLE HORSE SCULPTURES Exclusive Auction These unique sculpture trail horses will be auctioned on 4th November 2016 to raise money for World Horse Welfare World Horse Welfare’s Invisible Horse sculpture trail captured many thousands of hearts and minds at the 2016 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials in May this year and now the fourteen individually designed, painted and adorned sculptures are heading to London where they will be sold in an exclusive auction on 4th November.

Each horse sculpture stands at around 7hh (71cm) high and tells the story of a horse helped by World Horse Welfare which has been visually interpreted by a different artist or personality to create fourteen unique and stunning designs. Renowned sculptor, Judy Boyt, created a stunning clay maquette of World Horse Welfare Adoption Horse, May, which was then turned into a mould for the production of the fibreglass sculptures.

World Horse Welfare Director of Fundraising, Emma Williams, said: “We were delighted with the response to the Invisible Horse Trail at Badminton in May. It is fantastic that people now have the opportunity to give a home to one of these unique sculptures.

All the artists and designers involved in the Invisible Horse Trail donated their time and creativity free of charge.

Money raised from the auction of the horse sculptures will help to support World Horse Welfare in improving the lives of horses in the UK and around the world.

KATIE BEDWIN SECURES SPONSORSHIP South East based young rider, Katie Bedwin, has been very fortunate to become a sponsored rider for three well-known companies, following her success this season with her team of horses.

Having fed Baileys Horse Feeds for more than ten years, Katie has recently been taken on as a Baileys Rider. This will allow her to have even more access to the expertise of the Bailey’s nutritionists, to ensure her horses’ have the most suitable diet for their workload. Katie says, ‘I am over the moon that my successes have been recognised by Baileys, and I hope I can continue to show how well horses’ perform on this feed’.

Feedmark are leading suppliers of quality equine supplements, and they have been a vital part of Katie’s horses’ daily feeding routine for many years. Katie explains, ‘I swear by Feedmark’s ExtraFlex HA with rosehips, as I think any horse in regular work requires the extra boost of nutrients for optimum joint health – I believe this to be especially important with endurance horses, due to the extra stress put on their joints’.

Katie’s achievements have also been recognized by the new, innovative company, Equidivine. Equidivine is the leading creator of horse-friendly artistic products, aimed at both adults and children alike. No design is too tricky, and I don’t think we will be missing Katie at any future endurance rides!

FEI European Endurance Championship for Young Riders

and Juniors in Portugal Sadly the British contingent of Charlotte Chadwick, Caitlin Theodorou and Bella Fricker were all out of the competition by the second vet gate. Jo Chisholm commented that “although not the result we would have hoped for, we can take a lot of positives from this trip, that we can build on for the YRs World Championships in Verona next year....we have already started planning”!

All three riders learnt a lot from their trip and enjoyed the experience, despite the outcome. Thank you to all of the team management, riders and crews who have worked so hard to enable our young rider team to compete in Portugal. A special thanks to Science Supplements for their generous support.

WHAT DID THE RIDERS SAY ABOUT THE EVENT? Bella Fricker- “Portugal was the most amazing and unforgettable experience. Though we didn’t get the result we were all aiming for I don’t think any of us can be disappointed as it was such a feat to get the horses there and to start was an achievement in itself. Let’s hope for a better result next year at the Worlds!”

Charlie Chadwick- “Portugal was an amazing experience that I will never forget. All the horses arrived in perfect condition after 4 days of travelling which was a major plus point. The ride was tough going, with deep sand and 40+ degree temperatures. The team work from everyone was outstanding and I had a brilliant time.

Taz made me so proud! Our next big plan is Italy next year for the World Young Rider Endurance Championships hopefully where the temperature is a little cooler!”

Caitlin Theodorou- “An experience of a lifetime. Although it didn’t go our way I am extremely grateful to have been part of the team.

I’ve learnt a lot and met some great people!”

RIDE REPORTS

Completing Cirencester Heather Weston reviews her ride Since taking up in endurance in 2008, Cirencester has always seemed an iconic ride; one that definitely went on to my wish list. But for some reason, I only wanted to compete at advanced level. And that is a story in itself!

My first visit was in 2013, with my lovely mare Dolly. The ride was everything I had heard about and I loved every minute of it – until we were vetted out at the end of the penultimate loop of the 2-day 130km CER. But not to be outdone, I vowed to return!

And I did – this year. In the same class as before, with the hope of completing at very least… and I did! Here we are at the final vetting.

But back to the beginning: After a smooth journey from Iceni country, we arrived at the very spacious venue and set up my boy’s corral. He is Vlacq Flint Accolade, better known as Taffy.

There was plenty of room for everyone, with space for camping outside the main field where the corrals were.

Everything was well set out and easy to reach – including the luxurious portable loos. Such a treat, and well worth going to this ride for!

The ride itself is a fantastic mix of wide tracks and twisty paths through the forest; field margins; paths and tracks in the countryside; and some roadwork. It is not a flat ride, but not hilly either. Just some short steep slopes at times. The very few gates are easy to open and shut. This years rain meant that the going outside the park was very good: inside the park it was more challenging! It was very was deep in places, and we had to watch for big stones and roots. Fortunately my boy is good at that and found his way through the obstacles.

Likewise the scenery is mixed, and is all lovely. Woods with lots of shade; glades with sun streaming in; houses in soft Cotswold stone; open fields with open skies and sections where you daren’t look – or sit - up!

In addition to all the beautiful trees and flowers, this year as I rode down one slope and up the next, I was treated to the sight of a buzzard diving on its prey, and taking off with

AT THE FINAL VETTING

a snake in its talons, right in front of me. The snake then wriggled free and fell to the ground leaving the buzzard very annoyed. Unfortunately I didn’t see what happened next!

And now to be practical: crew points were easily accessible but limited. Because of this there were a good number of manned water points, mostly in the woods. These were much appreciated by the horses as the weekend turned quite hot on Sunday.

So to my ride: there were only four entries in the class. The leaders set off at a good pace at the start and I did not want to keep up. A minor field injury the weekend before the ride meant that I didn’t want to take any chances. However, I gave Taffy the wrong message and he meandered round. At the end of the first loop on the second day I had decided that he needed waking up – and if he couldn’t, I would pull him out, as he couldn’t be right. Ha, once told, he took off.

Penultimate vetting parameters were all very good, so off we went on the final loop at a really good pace, almost completely catching up with the rider in third place. Although we came last, I have come home with a sound horse, who has learnt a lot from what was only his second CER. And not only him – I have relearnt a lot of things I had forgotten. My brilliant crew, Julie and Graham Kendall and Linda Hams, were patient and forbearing, but did put me right!

As you can see in the photo below, where I am struggling to unclip the breastgirth. I should have undone it on the way in that was the second mistake cantering right up to the timekeeper was the first! There were others! So, very many thanks to my crew for keeping us going.

For those of you who haven’t been, Cirencester is a ride not to miss. It will be on my list for next year! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, water is plentiful and of course there are those loos! As always I was indebted to the ride organisers and officials and the large number of stewards both at the venue and out on course. A huge thank you to all of you for making the weekend so enjoyable. I drove home with a big smile on my face – for the whole 4 1/2 hours!

War of the Roses victory to Yorkshire!

By Emily Ferguson

The War of the Roses two day ride took place on 16th and 17th July at Breaks Fold Farm, Blubberhouses, near Harrogate, and riders were treated to being able to explore an area of outstanding natural beauty. Saturday afternoon saw 43 pleasure riders enjoying a lovely route of either 10km or 24km south of the venue through fields, over moorland and around Timble Woods. On their return we sold tea and cakes in aid of the Air Ambulance (thanks to baking from Anne Ferguson and Simone Cleeve). In the evening we had arranged for a mobile fish and chip van to come to the farm, which went down a treat, and everybody sat chatting in the barn whilst enjoying their food.

On Sunday the day dawned chilly and rather windy to say the least, but fortunately the weather improved as the day went on and everyone stayed dry. We had 82 riders entered, with distances varying from 10km to 65km. Apart from the 10km riders they all left the venue and headed north towards Grimwith Reservoir. The route took them over moors, shooting tracks and private land. It is a challenging, hilly route, there is no mistake about that; on some parts you are hard pushed to go faster than a walk, but there are plenty of opportunities for a good canter along the way to make up time. Most riders returned with smiles on their faces, saying they felt a great sense of achievement for successfully finishing such a tough ride.

It was a hard ride to organise logistically because it depends so much on the goodwill of tenants, farmers, Yorkshire Water and land agents. Despite thinking it would be easier the second year around, we were thwarted at the last minute with various route problems which caused us real headaches, but we managed to sort everything out just in time! It is a ride where we needed a large number of helpers due to the volume of gates that needed somebody to open them, and the nature of the remoteness of the route. Our helpers were all absolutely amazing and everybody said how helpful and friendly they were – thank you all so much. We even had an Australian helper – Angela Head, a 3* rider who was passing by on a tour of the UK and wanted to experience a British ride. Many thanks also to Louise and Richard at Breaks Fold Farm who hosted the ride and were absolutely fantastic.

We were very fortunate this year to have managed to secure a lot of sponsorship for various classes, so a big thanks must go to them too: • The War of the Roses prize, sponsored by Little Oaks Therapy - won by Yorkshire • The West Riding Challenge, sponsored by Topspec - won

RIDE REPORTS

A Right Royal Olympian Result The Endurance GB Northumberland and Tyneside group hosted the Northern Championships including the Hexhamshire Trophy on Sunday the 7th August at Cooks House Farm Hexham, by kind permission of Jennifer Dodds.

The weather was bright with a strong wind, which had the advantage of keeping the flies away and the horses cool, but did cause some challenges on the longer routes where not all gates were manned, and competitors were dealing with strong gusts as the negotiated gates.

Although the entry numbers were down on previous years, those who attended enjoyed a variety of routes from the 20km pleasure riders’ event open to all, through to the competitive 80km class which ended with a thrilling racing finish between three horses. The final result was:1st: Rachael Fothergill on Royal Olympian, 2nd: Nikki Brown on Tinkerbell’s Image and 3rd: Bridget Brown on Silver Zeph.

Rachael had travelled from Dumfries and Galloway with her Thoroughbred mare, Royal Olympian, and said in a Facebook post after the event “I have to recommend this ride as a really good test of stamina and a really warm welcome from EGB Northumberland. Your prizes and sponsors are fab too. You all must work very hard all year to nake this ride the great event that it is. I have been coming to Hexham since before 2000.” Like many of the regular entrants she also made special mention of the great contribution to the event of Vivienne Knight, who has been part of the organising committee for many years in addition to offering generous sponsorship. This was Viv’s last year in the role, as she is stepping down, but will still be an active force in endurance through her membership of the Scottish Endurance Riding Club, both as a rider and in organising events.

Nikki commented afterwards “It really is something been part of a racing finish after 50miles on horses that have given their all!” Bridget thanked the organisers and remarked that it was “just the sort of ride I really love, in a beautiful part of the country, and Zeph and I got to gallop for the very first time” Linda and Sophie Bell won the Pleasure Pairs sponsored by Gloucester Lodge. Other classes were sponsored by Baileys Horse Feeds and Classic Upholstery and Foam.

Best condition awards will be awarded by the for each class, full details not available at time of going to press, Just Chaps sponsored the best condition awards with a pair of half chaps for every winner.

Ride organiser, Sarah Armitt, paid tribute to the hard work of her team in making the ride happen and went on to say: “It was lovely to see so many smiley faces! Well done to all those who completed their distances and I am very pleased to say that not one single horse was vetted out lame or with metabolic or veterinary concerns today, well done to you all for looking after your horses so well on a challenging course!”

The routes use a mixture of moorland and forest routes, which afford some stunning views, and would not be 12

possible without the support of local landowners, farmers and game keepers who kindly allow the ride to use their land.

Special mention should be made of Emma Leigh who was the only entrant in the challenging 65km graded ride with her home bred mare Clover Fire N Ice (Dilly).

Not only did she complete the distance, made more daunting by having no other riders on the course, but Dilly competes barefoot. Emma was supported by her husband Steven, who not only crews for her, but as a qualified barefoot trimmer keeps Dilly’s feet in such excellent condition.

One of the furthest travelled competitors was Lorna Hogg, who came all the way from Aberdeen to complete the 40km graded ride with her mare, Cloughwood Gold Spangle. Lorna explained she had found the ride well worth the long journey, adding “I started endurance in 1999 and Spangle is my third horse. I still have Marco who has competed since 2001 and reached 5000km of endurance rides last season. Spangle has done FEI1* and we had a quiet season last year after breaking my collar bone about 11km into the 160km class at the Golden Horseshoe.” Lorna is a Petplan sponsored rider and she went on to explain “Petplan Equine were looking for ways to support the equestrian industry so they selected a group of riders to sponsor who are role models within the industry, people who go the extra mile to look after their horses wellbeing and are true ambassadors of responsible ownership. The riders have been have been selected to represent Petplan Equine as Sponsored Riders for 2015 and 2016.”

ROBERT NEWALL

Running The Wirral Some were surprised during this years’ Tour de France, when, without a ride, Chris Froome decided to run the course, but he wasn’t the first as Rachel Thurlow demonstrated at this years’ Cheshire Group Wirral Ride.

Rachel Thurlow and daughter Kim were looking forward to riding the 20km Wirral Pleasure Ride. After a break of more than a decade, this was to be Rachel’s return to the endurance scene since competing in ERs on her Arab mare.

Rachel’s horse Minky, a Blue Cross rescue horse, had been abandoned in Wolverhampton on a building site. A builder, who shared his sandwiches with him, obtained his passport so the Blue Cross could adopt him. Rachel has been riding him for 2 years, completed a few fun rides, but wanted to get back to Endurance.

For young Kim, this would be her first EGB ride on a pony she had been riding since October. So imagine the disappointment when, the day before the ride, Kim’s pony was very lame with an abscess.

Kim sat on her old pony, an 11hh Welsh Pony but her legs were by his knees so what were they to do?

Being a mum means making sacrifices so it was agreed that Kim would ride Minky and Rachel would run the course!. A seasoned fell runner, Rachel wasn’t phased by the Wirral Way compared to the hills of the Ceiriog Valley where she does most of her running, but it was a lot further than her usual distance.

Rachel said, “It was fantastic to be at an Endurance ride venue again. After the farrier check and trot up we set off up the Wirral way onto the beach. Kim couldn’t believe how far the tide had gone out.

West Kirby sailing club was a welcome landmark. I was increasingly glad at the flatness of the Wirral Way. Greetings were exchanged with another couple of riders from the Ceiriog valley. I suspect I was the most grateful ride participant when it started to rain, which was so refreshingly cooling. Just as our party were all becoming a bit fatigued I spotted the welcome sight of the trailers and lorries parked at the venue field. I stood my ground when Kim wanted me to trot Minky up and said that it was definitely her turn to do the running.”

RIDE REPORTS

LINDUM Spirit Ride (with the theme of Rio!) The Endurance GB Lindum Spirit ride, kindly sponsored by feed supplement manufacturers TopSpec, took place over four days from August 3rd-7th, and did exactly what it says on the tin! It had something for everyone from a 5K lead-rein class to a 170km multi-day class and a 20km single day class.

Lindum this year enjoyed mixed weather however around 500 competitors flocked to the superb venue of Market Rasen racecourse to enjoy the holiday atmosphere and festival spirit that always accompanies multi-day endurance rides. Top facilities included allday catering from Caroline’s Catering and a ‘Support Rio Carnival’ on the Saturday evening. Retail therapy was provided by trade stands including Performance Equestrian, Torq Fitness, and Pioneer Endurance and event photographers West End Photography were on hand to record everyone’s finest hour.

The main class was the Lindum Spirit (170kms over 3 days) which ended with Sally Toye riding Emira Bint Letifa and Alex Tennant riding Inferno crossing the line together but with Alex getting the top podium slot.

However Sally was amply recompensed with Letifa being awarded the coveted Best Condition award.

Lindum also hosted the annual InterRegionals competition which is calculated on results over various classes and was won this year by the North-West Group made up of riders from the Lancashire and Cheshire Groups, with runners-up Spirit of Yorkshire.

Other results are too numerous to list but special mention should be made of Lily Gibbons, aged 11 years, who rode a grand total of 120kms in four different classes over the four days and who partied into the wee hours at the Carnival. This is Lily’s take on endurance: “This is my first full season riding endurance and I love it. I get to meet new people and ride in places that I would never normally get to go. Sandy loves it too! As soon as we are tacked up he’s itching to get out. He keeps me safe on all terrains and isn’t bothered by cars, animals or loud noises. I know that endurance keeps Sandy super fit.”

Ride organiser, Thay Stephenson, reports: “I have to say I am absolutely thrilled to bits 14

that the entire five days ran as smooth as silk. I was so lucky that the numerous new helpers more than stepped up to the mark, and that so many people volunteered to lighten my load. I have been flooded with so much positive feedback post-event that I cannot help but be very happy to have been at the helm of another Lindum Spirit.”

RIDE REPORTS

NORTH NORFOLK Anna Kidd reports

A YEAR OF FIRST’S This was a year of “firsts” in North Norfolk. First-first, I had a light-bulb moment with the ride route. It has always niggled me that one of the most beautiful parts of the route is only enjoyed by riders who do 15km or 80km and nothing in between. This year, with some welcome help from Ride Sec. Peggy Sofley and her mapping software, plus a bit of imagination, we came up with a second 25km loop which incorporated the northern part of the idyllic venue, Courtyard Farm. So, everyone who did 15km or 40km+ was able to see the stunning scenery previously under-used and very under-appreciated.

Unusually for us we suffered huge rain and hail storms in the preceding week instead of the customary “sprinkling” which resulted in a lot of re-marking. However, it also meant that the going was even better than usual. It was so wet that the Council were unable to cut a bridleway at Fring, meaning re-routing some of the 40km riders down a narrow footpath – it didn’t dampen the spirits though.

A WINDOW OF WEATHER Right on cue the sun came out on Friday for the afternoon/evening pleasure riders, who were in heaven. (It also meant that I could go to bed not worrying about any further marking problems). Rider and Vet Steward Amanda Roche-Kelly says “A window of fabulous weather opened up for the duration of the ride which covered the 15k loop. Superbly marked, the undulating route offered very good going on many newly mown grassy tracks and took in such a pretty part of north Norfolk. The route left the venue and very quickly we were alongside a fragrant bean field, the scent of which became headier as the sunshine strengthened. From the northernmost track one had a very dominant sea view, only interrupted by an occasional boat - something to savour.”

Our hosts Lord Peter Melchett, his son Jay and their team worked tirelessly in very challenging weather to cut fields, mow tracks and prepare everything for our arrival – early birds might have seen Peter on his ride-on mower.

A big thank you to everyone who camped and corralled for leaving everything as you found it; it always looks like we’ve never been there on Sunday evening and each year I receive an email from Peter saying just that plus what a pleasure to have such a happy bunch of people around for the weekend.

GENEROUS SPONSORS The second-first was our 80km CER which got off to a slightly damp start at 8.40am on Saturday. Although there were just three riders in this Class I am happy to report a 100% completion rate and offer them and their crews many congratulations once more. The Sponsors, Tuffa Boots were very generous in their prize offering of jackets, chaps and gloves and others will have received 10% Endurance Sept/Oct 2016

vouchers which were distributed throughout the weekend.

Many thanks to them for their second year of support, which we hope will continue. Please consider this class in your plans for 2017 as it’s here to stay now.

• 1st Bo Hardwick on Shingle Street Speshal, • 2nd Madison Pomeroy (in her first ever CER at just 15 years of age) on Zaferan and, • 3rd Sue Box on Kazeme El Mystral.

The third-first was a new idea, 15+15 (30km) GER. The idea is to give your horse the notion of coming in for a hold but over a shorter distance. It was great to see Lucy Walker and Flynn taking all the crewing tips they were offered on board and completing – well done.

The fourth-first was Su Middleton’s visit as T.S. Once inducted into the “North Norfolk Crazy Gang” she did a great job with our brilliant regular, Linda Hatton. We really enjoyed having them and hope they both come back again next year.

The fifth (and final) first was deciding the result of the 80km GER PF. Ruth and Charlotte Chadwick’s horses were inseparable in both presence and results the whole way, right to the end! The only way to decide a 1st and 2nd place was to compare 2nd vetting heartrates. The riding times and end heart rates were identical, meaning their PF scores were too! Well done to Ruth and Tannasg Psyrenkus who prevailed to take first prize which, along with the “Best” awards, was sponsored by Simple Systems.

PRIZE WINNERS Other first prize-winners, generously sponsored by Performance Equestrian and GJL Animal Feeds, were: • Trilby Herriott, Yes Prime Minister Jubilee Cup, (65/65) • Gail Jupp, Anglia 80 Cup (40/40) • Elaine Wallbridge, Black Beauty Trophy (32/32) and, • Mollie Button, 64km PF. Full results are on the Ride Website.

A special mention to Karen Whittington who does annual battle with the unreliable ferries to and from the Isle of Wight and Jason Tse who made the trip from Honk Kong (via Hertfordshire) to ride a different horse each day.

Many, many thanks to everyone who sponsored, came to compete, crew, steward or just enjoy the atmosphere.

Timekeepers, Brigid Fairman and Liz Whyte kept us all on the straight and narrow over the weekend along with the army of checkpoint and road-crossing stewards, without whom the ride just couldn’t run.

NEXT YEAR? If you want good riding, a relaxed atmosphere and a great experience for your horse, whatever their level of attainment, come to North Norfolk – once you’ve been, you’ll be back, guaranteed!

CHRIS MACMILLAN ON HER WAY TO VICTORY IN THE 80K

One of the attractions of endurance for many of us is the chance of finding yourself in a stunning location, somewhere you couldn’t ordinarily take your horse. One such place is Brodie Castle in Morayshire, up on the north-east coast of Scotland, this year’s setting for the Scottish Festival of Endurance, incorporating the SERC Championships. The original castle was built in the 16th century, and after a fire destroyed much of it, the existing one was constructed in the 1800s in typical Scottish baronial style with fairytale turrets, set in 71 hectares of land, much of which SERC had been allowed access to for the weekend.

Despite being a long way for the southern Branch members to travel, all eight Branches were represented, and helpers too were drawn from all over Scotland. While there was a slightly disappointing entry for the flagship 2-day 160kms class, lower distances attracted healthy entries, and the corralling area was packed, with an overflow also almost full.

While being primarily a flat route, sited on a coastal plain, Brodie offered a varied and twisting course, using two forests: Darnaway and Culbin. On the Culbin route, riders passed close to the walls of the castle, walking past the children’s play park before heading out to the coast.

Darnaway provided more varied and open forestry, with lovely riverside sections and long grassy canter tracks. With very little roadwork, absolutely no gates and superb marking despite the best efforts of marker vandals, times were fast, with Chris Macmillan and Coolagoree Glen Thunder coming in at 16.96kph to win the 80k ER in a thrilling racing finish with Avril Bruce and Chalice. Third and fourth places went to Constance Newbould on Zarkhruv and Francis Bakker on Aratahnes Phoebe.

Two riders started in the 2-day 160kms class: Candy Cameron with Indian Djesik, and Suzanne Taylor on Salsa Caramel. Candy retired at the second vet gate, and while Suzanne completed the first day, Caramel

unfortunately trotted up lame on the Sunday morning. Another two riders were head to head in the 2-day 120kms class: Kaye Conafray on Staffords Enchantress, and Fionnghuala Paterson on Tannasg Psyonny. This was a close-fought contest, but eventually Fionnghuala emerged the victor, and winner of the Pasquill Trophy, at 12.99kph, with Kaye finishing on 12.4. The Paterson team also picked up the Raddery Equine Trophy for best-equipped crew, and younger daughter Grainne won the 2-day 80kms class plus Best Condition with CS Kismet.

ARLENE PARVIN CLINCHED THE NOVICE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The 60kms ER was won by Sarah Norris and Tynebank Harry, with Nicola Hamilton and Magic Storm runners up. The Novice Championship was taken by Arlene Parvin and Kingsmeadowhouse Magic Maker; they also won the Novice Horse Cup and the Scottish AHS Shield. Other class winners included: (50km Open) Gill Brittle and Holme Park Flirt; (2day 60km) Alison Wilson and Piecki; (40km Open) Rory MacLeod and Toys Golden Legacy; (30km Open) Diane Michie and Skylarks Discovery; and the Novice Rider Trophy went to Linda Heard.

Good weather and a relaxed atmosphere combined with excellent organisation made this event a real success for the Championships committee and route organiser Diane Michie. Thanks are due to Moray Estates for access and for providing the stunning backdrop to this Festival of Endurance: Brodie Castle.

SCOTTISH ENDURANCE RIDING CLUB

The Championships brought Karen Cassidy and Kadem to their goal after years of setbacks.

My journey with Kadem to Gold Thistle has taken seven years, writes Karen, with lots of ups and downs, but we eventually got there this year. When I bought Kadem, aged 9, he’d only been backed for a year and was mentally very immature, so we took AT THE VET GATE

things steady and did a year of pleasure rides, from which he came on in leaps and bounds. We then did a novice year which went really well, getting his BTQs and BTF and coming 2nd in the 50k novice class at the Championships, but the icing on the cake was winning the Novice Trophy for the highest point novice horse at the end of year prize giving.

The following two years I tried to do grade STQ, but I had a couple of bad injuries getting on him, which tore a ligament in my knee, and fell off at home, cracking a couple of ribs. Things got so bad that I advertised Kadem for sale, but then I changed the saddle, back to what I originally rode him in, things got easier and I decided to keep him. The following year we got the STQs and were also selected for the Scottish Team, so a good year.

We attempted 80k and STF in 2015, but Kadem lost a shoe at about 20k and wouldn’t stand still for the shoe to be replaced, so I retired. We completed an 80k later in the year to get STF and we were selected for the Scottish team again, but an injured ankle caused by falling off meant I had to withdraw.

This year Kadem had been going really well and I had a new saddle, which had made a big difference to his way of going, so I was really looking forward to riding at the Scottish Festival of

THE SEVEN YEAR WAIT

Endurance at Brodie Castle in July. I had entered the 80ER class and was hoping to grade with Kadem’s Gold Thistle.

We let the mass start go without us and set off with Liz Paul and Oberon. Fionnghuala Paterson soon joined us and we rode together for about the first 5km, but Kadem was pulling hard, so I decided to ride by myself. He was really good about letting them go on ahead and settled into a lovely rhythm. At the first crew point I caught up with Fionnghuala, as she had decided to hold back, and we rode the rest of the first loop together. Kadem vetted quickly at the vet gate, HR 58/52, and passed without any problems and then we had a 30 min hold.

We were by ourselves for the next loop, but kept seeing other horses - Kadem was still keen and were both really enjoying ourselves. Kadem passed quickly at the vet gate, HR 58/58, so all good to go out again.

We had about five minutes in hand to achieve the speed for GT Final (13kph), so needed to keep up the pace, but the boy was on a mission! With about 2km to go to the finish, Fionnghuala caught us up again. We finished happily trotting over the finish line and I knew we had done the speed to get GT, so just the vetting to pass.

My crew Jill Tomlinson took over washing Kadem down ready for vetting. We vetted within 9 mins of finishing, HR 60/56, and passed sound. We had done it: Kadem had got his GT Final! Hugs for him and Jill and anyone else who was near enough!

We also came 5th in the race ride and Kadem won the veteran trophy for the class - I can’t believe he is 16 now. We also won the Open Team Trophy, with Fionnghuala and Grainne Paterson and Bernhard Heidemann, so a great result to end a fantastic weekend.

COMING INTO THE FINISH.

STABLES & BEDDING

Time For Bed….

As Autumn is fast approaching, we have asked people what their choices are when it comes to stabling their horses over winter…if they do.

Which bedding do they choose, and why?

KAREN CORR We have rubber mats covered with wood pellet bedding but only for horses who are tidy and pee/poo in one area! It’s really dry and makes a comfy bed but if they are untidy it’s harder to muck out. We only use it in winter when they are in every night.

BELLA FRICKER I’m really rather mundane as we’ve always used wood shavings.

Snowflake is my favourite. We have dirt floors to our stables and have really quite deep beds and shallow banks. I like it because it’s so easy to muck out, it’s absorbent and looks nice because it’s so light in colour. I prefer the smaller flakes too as they go through the muck fork more easily.

We tried rape straw bedding last year but we found one of our horses kept trying to eat it and it just wasn’t quite as absorbent as the wood shavings, added to which it was more expensive.

JILL THOMAS We use Miscanthus on rubber mats.

Every day we take out the droppings and then once a week we scrape back the clean bedding and take out the wet, usually a wheelbarrow load. The old bedding is then levelled down and a new bale spread on top. I find that it is very cost effective and extremely quick.

GILL TALBOT Personally I use deep, clean wheat straw for the ‘Oldies’ and ‘Babies’ through the winter on the top of rubber matting.

The working horses are kept on a mixture of shavings and wood pellets on top of rubber matting as I find the wood shavings alone ‘move’ and are not absorbent enough but wood pellets alone become too compacted.

18

HEATHER GILES Over the years I’ve used straw, shavings, miscanthus, Aubiose, and paper.

STRAW Would come equal first with some kind of hemp bedding for me. If you can get clean good quality straw (and there’s the rub!) its affordable, warm, absorbent and easy to work. Being old-fashioned I think there’s nothing like a nicely made up straw bed. The downside is sourcing quality straw and the fact that it makes your clothes and hair smell, a distinct disadvantage if you have to go and work in an office after mucking out! Breaks down well and makes good compost so relatively easy to dispose of.

AUBIOSE (OR ANY HEMP EQUIVALENT) Wonderful clean bedding, easy to work, can be a bit slipper so works best on rubber mats. Downside its dreadfully expensive. It does break down quite well but takes longer than straw but I’ve used hemp compost on my garden for ages. Can be hard to get rid of.

MISCANTHUS Much cheaper than hemp bedding but very hard, coarse and slippery. Works best when combined 50/50 with hemp bedding which keeps the cost down a bit. Again works best on rubber mats.

PAPER Cheap but hard to work and gets very heavy when wet so hopeless for deep litter. Hard to get rid of and I found it broke down quite quickly in the stable and created a lot of dust.

Forage management needs special attention on all non-straw beds and its something a lot of people don’t consider. Most horses will poke around in a straw bed and find something to eat once their hay/haylage is finished, on anything else unless their forage supply is copious they stand around for hours overnight (or during the day for that matter) with nothing to eat which will predispose them to colic and gastric ulceration.

HEATHER BURCHNELL Stable magic is a dust extracted chopped straw equine bedding relatively new to the market and is produced by Lincolnshire Fields nr Apley in Lincolnshire I have used the bedding for 6 months now and can honestly say it is my favorite so far. I was firstly attracted to the bedding as it was straw rather that shavings but is still suitable for use on rubber matting due to its absorbency.

Earlier in the year my horse had a minor operation and required box/ corral rest to aid recovery, during that time I used stable magic and found it extremely cost effective. I used 4 bales to make a small bed on top of the rubber matting I already have and removed both the wet and any droppings on a daily basis. The bedding stayed clean and free of any unwanted smells for the duration of the box rest. My horse is now off box rest and I continue to use the bedding in his shelter, due to its soft and inviting appearance my horse chooses to use his shelter at all times and regularly chooses there for a nap.

TO BE CONTINUED....

SHAVINGS Good clean dust-extracted wood shavings are great but are quite expensive. Again shavings works quite well combined with miscanthus.

Rubber mats are very useful as it means you can use less bedding but the drainage in the stable needs to be good otherwise urine pools underneath the mats with less absorbant materials like straw and miscanthus. I wouldn’t use mats alone as I don’t think they encourage a horse to lie down and rugs get urine soaked very quickly when they do.

FUTURITY

SPECTACULAR RESULT FOR CHRIS WRAY’S FOAL

Endurance Sept/Oct 2016

C

arvan endurance rider and horse breeder, Chris Wray has bred the highest scoring endurance horse in the Baileys Horse Feeds/ British Breeding/British Equestrian Federation (BEF) Futurity. Chris’ colt foal, Kamili (Shuawaiman Al Rais x Cloud Stepper) gained his score at the Hartpury College Futurity on Tuesday (23rd August).

Kamili scored an elite premium of 9.25 out of a possible maximum of 10.

An elite Futurity premium indicates that the horse has the potential and outlook to perform at international level.

Chris said: “This result is just fantastic, I was stunned to discover when I got home from Hartpury that Kamili has gained the highest Futurity score ever awarded to an endurance horse.

Futurity evaluator Jo Claridge said Kamili is extremely nice and has great potential.”

Kamili, which means complete or perfect in Swahili, is the latest in a line of horses bred by Chris and his mother, Monica Hutchings.

Chris said: “When I was growing up, my family moved to Kenya for around 10 years. When we returned in the late 70’s my mother bought a grey Arab mare, this mare was my riding horse throughout the 80’s and 90’s. Then when the mare was aged 20, my mother put her in foal to the cremello American Saddlebred stallion Cloud Stepper owned by next door neighbour Henry Betts at Little Barningham. The resulting foal was Zawadi, the dam of Kamili. Zawadi means gift or present in Swahili.”

Zawadi’s eldest daughter, Takwenya is on the British team for the forthcoming World Endurance Championships in Slovakia next month. Takwenya and Chris were the top British endurance combination in the 2015 FEI world rankings. The next foal bred from Zawadi, a mare named Peponi by Krayaan Dilmun took the 2015 British novice endurance championship with Chris who is hoping that she will go on to be a contender for WEG in 2018.

Chris continued: “I am 61 now and so I am hoping that Kamili will be my final endurance horse throughout my 70’s and into my 80’s. Kamili is by a son of Krayaan Dilmun, Shuawaiman Al Rais as I am hoping he will be a bit smaller and quieter than Peponi.”

Chris’ younger sister, Melanie Blake has moved back to Kenya and has set up a mental health charity over there which she called Kamili, and suggested this name for the colt.

The BEF’s Head of Equine Development Jan Rogers said, “We are increasingly noticing that breeders, buyers and riders of British bred horses are finding that a Futurity premium is a very useful aid in helping assess these horses. We are also seeing a marked improvement in the standard of youngsters entered in the futurity, which is very good news for the future of British breeding”.

The 2016 Futurity evaluations ran from the 15th to the 31st August, covering 11 venues nationwide with a total of 12 days of evaluations.

Futurity scores are used by many breeders as a credible marketing tool for their young horses, adding value to a young horse whilst it is still too young to have achieved a performance record.

BYWAYS AND BRIDLEWAYS TRUST JOURNEY FOR ACCESS 2016 Supported by the BHS

atriona Cook of BBT and her team have set out on another of their epic journeys on horseback to raise awareness of the 2026 ‘Cut-off date’ and the poor condition of our bridleways. This year they are travelling over Dartmoor, through Devon, Dorset and Hampshire. Follow daily reports of their experiences on the BBT website.

Although there are clearly beautiful and inspiring stretches of bridleway and byway, the most striking thing about attempting a journey on horseback in 2016, is the dismal provision of a safe, joined up network for equestrians. So far, they have encountered every sort of obstruction, many caused by poor maintenance but others are flagrantly deliberate.

The Byways and Bridleways Trust aims to “Protect, preserve and record ancient rights of way for this and all future generations.”

We joined the team: 3 very capable ladies, showing no signs of fatigue despite the 232 years between them and the 256 miles they were riding from Dartmoor to the New Forest.

The Ordnance Survey maps crammed into their back up vehicle depict the treasure trove of liberties enjoyed across our

countryside and hidden in these spidery depths those that may no longer exist after 2026 when the Definitive Map is redrawn, extinguishing forever the right to pass across tracts of our national landscape.

At 66 Catriona Cook MBE, known as ‘Baby’ to the group has returned over 100 miles of bridleway to the public domain. For her this is not just about liberty and equestrianism it is about a love for the land, history and a gateway to contentment.

We know walking and bike riding is good for body and soul.

Horse riding itself has been hailed as ‘nature’s prozac’. We are a nation in need of health and happiness inducing pursuits.

Another huge and often underacknowledged aspect is safety. Certainly as a happy hacker I know the ripple of terror that passes through horse and rider as a speeding vehicle thunders by. It is so wonderful to be off road and I am sure my cycling colleagues as well as many a frustrated motorist will agree.

As a competitive nation, show jumping, eventing, dressage and of course endurance medals have been won

by British riders all over the world. To compete happy healthy horses we need to ride them – long distances.

We followed these intrepid campaigners and on occasion rode with them from Corfe Castle and the stunning coastal route around Studland Bay (what a pity the new coastal routes will exclude horse riders) to Bere Regis and on to Tarrant Monkton. Oh for the love of Dorset.

At just 6, 13 and 23 Scylla, Chuckkie and Nicky were happy horses moving together from one grazing opportunity to another and meeting new friends along the way, (Alpaca photos) what could be more natural for our equine friends.

The team ended their journey in Burley, New Forest, a fitting location as 2 of the horses originated here. 256 miles across the south of England from one of the oldest National Parks to one of the newest, along routes that are or should be available to all. Please support the BBT and similar organisations to ensure we can pass these freedoms down the generations.

CLASS OF 02

Patience is a virtue?

An analysis of the career histories of horses that started out with Endurance GB in 2002 and 2003 METHODOLOGY The first analysis was carried out on the career histories of the ‘Class of 2002’, i.e. those horses who completed their first ride with Endurance GB in 2002, by reviewing the whole Endurance GB archive up to and including 2015. Horses that only did one ride were discounted. This data was then compared to the career histories of the ‘Class of 2003’, i.e. those horses who completed their first ride with Endurance GB in 2003. The patterns evident in the careers of the ‘Class of 2002’ matched the patterns evident in the careers of the ‘Class of 2003’. For the purposes of this article, the data from both samples have been merged.

THE FINDINGS NUMBER OF RIDES PER YEAR The average length of career across the ‘Class of 2002’ and the ‘Class of 2003’ was 4.2 seasons, with an average career completion rate of 82%. 69% had a pass at their final ride, indicating that those that retired at that point retired sound. Around 4% of the horses that started out in 2002 or 2003 were still on the circuit in 2015.

The average number of rides per year, average number of rides in the horse’s busiest season, and the average career completion rates compared to career length shown in chart 1.

One point to note here is that although doing a high number of rides in a season does not appear to have an adverse impact on a horse’s longevity, very few horses did a high number of rides per season year after year after year, and very few horses rode at longer distances year after year after year. The most common pattern is that the horses with the longer careers tend to have three/four years when they did a lot (ie big distances, or lots of rides) and then they dropped back to a more manageable level the rest of the time; and their ‘busy’ seasons are not necessarily consecutive years. This shows that Endurance GB’s ride structure needs to be flexible. If the stars align and riders are in the right space personally and with the right horse to do a bit more, then we need to make sure the door is open for them, but we also need to make sure that they are

welcomed and supported to drop back to the shorter rides when necessary.

LONGEST DISTANCES COMPLETED DURING THE HORSE’S CAREER 28% of horses completed a ride of 80km or more during their career, and around 8% attempted a 160km: There is not a significant difference in career completion rates comparing those horses that ‘only’ completed lower distance classes in their careers and those who attempted longer distances: WHEN DID HORSES ATTEMPT THEIR FIRST LONGER DISTANCE RIDE AND WHAT EFFECT DID THIS HAVE ON THEIR CAREER? There is some evidence that waiting an extra season or two before attempting a longer distance class can have a beneficial effect on both the horse’s length of career and its overall career completion rate: The data would appear to back up the old fashioned wisdom which says that it takes at least four years to ‘make’ an endurance horse, as horses that spent a little longer at the lower distances before doing the longer rides had longer careers and better career completion rates. Of course, this lower distance preparation does not have to be done at rides; a horse that is carefully prepared at home can be just as successful and there were also examples in the archives of horses that had done just that. The important point is to make sure that the horse is properly prepared and that it knows its job before it is asked for more.

FLURRIE 1995 – 2016

Flurrie arrived here after a long hunt for a suitable endurance horse. He seemed to fit the list of requirements having good feet, straight action, short backed and good to handle. He was a 5yo, grey Irish Connemara type pony of 14.3hh.

Unfortunately his novice year was postponed because of Foot and Mouth, so he spent a year walking and trotting round the roads of the village. Then a few weeks before he was due to do his first ride in 2002 he was chased by a loose dog, I came off, had to walk to get help and ended up in hospital.

Flurrie made his way home along the main road much to the consternation of many; it is one of the worst moments when your horse disappears over the hill without you.

However, we mended and started planning our season. With Bev Corrigan and Millie as our minder and Val Swann as super crew, we completed the season with the fantastic result of 10 grade ones (first time ever!) which resulted in Flurrie being Novice Champion and a very good night at the awards dinner.

Over the next few years we progressed in distance and Flurrie 26

developed his super trot and the art of relaxing in vet gates and he became advanced. He still was very good at achieving Grade Ones and seemed to really enjoy competing, but at home he could not see the point in hacking out, so training was difficult. In 2005 we went to Ireland as part of the Home International team; he travelled well and completed his class successfully. It was a great experience.

In 2007 with the encouragement of Sue Headland and Julie Martin, we tried our hand at the 120km at Dukeries. With excellent crewing and support, Flurrie took it in his stride and came 2nd, we were amazed!

Just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke we tried another 120k at Cumbria Challenge - it wasn’t, he completed in fine style and came 4th. We also tried the 160km at Cirencester but retired at 80miles as the ground conditions deteriorated after thunderstorms hit.

But we did the multiday 170km at Lindum and came 2nd in a racing finish.

We had an excellent year, he did so well and he was Senior Champion and Supreme Champion for 2007. We had a great time at the Awards Dinner.

In the following year we tackled the 160km again, this time at Dukeries and

despite slipping on the grass and going down near the beginning he went round in fine style with good recoveries and came 1st. I was very proud of him.

He continued doing every distance asked, he did 21 longer ER’s (100km+) over the years without a single veterinary fail, single day or multi day he enjoyed them all! We also found that he was good at 80km GERs but not good at 80km CERs. None of this would have been possible without the continued help and support of Sue Headland and Julie Martin. They were great.

In 2011, Flurrie was 16 but I decided it was time to try another 160km, this time at Cirencester. Again I fell off near the beginning but despite all the colourful bruises we completed the day successfully, with Sue and Julie patching me up and feeding me painkillers and we came 1st in the national class. We had a very good season and Flurrie once more was the Senior Champion and the Supreme Champion and we had a good time at the Awards dinner.

Since then he has been regularly competing, albeit at shorter distances but he never forgot how to do it! His interest, focus, speed and recovery continued to be very good and he was still very determined. He completed the 32km at Royalties in 2014 with a Grade 1 at 17.4kph and Kings Forest in 2015 a Grade 1 for 64km at 15.9kph.

Sadly, he suddenly had an episode of colic, and despite the best care, there were complications. He battled against it, but this time he did not win.

Flurrie always knew what he wanted to do and he always enjoyed his endurance, unfortunately he also enjoyed shying, sharp stops and Spanish riding school leaps. He competed for 14 years, did 143 rides and more than 8000kms successfully. This was only possible with the support of some amazing people who looked after him and kept him fit and happy – a big, big thank you to them for their support and interest.

Flurrie truly was a once in a lifetime horse and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to look after him.

OBITUARY

DAVID MILLER (1967 – 2016)

Wider public awareness of the sport of endurance may temporarily be at a low ebb for reasons way beyond these shores. But, as we know, the true spirit of the endurance about to be epitomised by Endurance GB’s calendar is alive and well.

That spirit and the essence of endurance – the relationship between horse and rider – when captured through the lens of David Miller for Horse & Hound, was a game changer for the sport from the early 1990s.

While I was inspired to investigate ‘long distance riding’ through the occasional black and white photo of riders in hacking jackets navigating Exmoor in the annual report on the Golden Horseshoe Ride, thanks to David Miller, riders born in the 80s and 90s were presented with a vital new image of the sport. It was captivating and it was edgy. David’s early sports photography experience had been focussed on international rugby – he was used to getting up close and personal and capturing the cut, thrust and guts of a sport at top level.

Unencumbered by the needs of event photography and with no previous knowledge of horse sport, he came to endurance coverage for Horse & Hound with a fresh pair of eyes. Instead of being constrained by the need to take ‘souvenir’ shots of riders passing a well-chosen background and grinning at the camera, David went free-range, looked into the soul of the sport and went on to produce what will be a remarkable 28

archive in a golden era for endurance. He didn’t want images of smiling riders bouncing past, he liked the sport and its people and wanted to show a new audience how much grit and determination was involved and how in particular the horses and riders in the 100-mile club were heroes.

It was a time of change for the sport and to riders across other horse sports, it looked and was, ground-breaking. In glorious technicolour, David’s photography recorded everything from the clothing with new high-tech materials, to the light-weight, brightly coloured tack, to the crewing techniques, every droplet of flying water as steaming horses were sloshed, captured arc-like as they fell. The tack may not have taken off in other sports, but aspects of the horse management during and post competition certainly has and this coupled with images of lycraclad riders who looked like athletes, brought a new respect to the ‘marathon’ of horse sport.

David Miller was born on the 2nd April 1967. Adopted by Christine and Alan Miller at just a few months old, David and his younger sister Leanne enjoyed an idyllic childhood on the Berkshire, Surrey borders. Cameras and photography were early interests along with sailing, golf and what became a life-long following, West Ham Football Club.

His first job was in a camera shop in his home town of Camberley in Surrey. He moved from there to work at Leeds Photovisual in London, where he was employed in the hire department supplying cameras and lighting equipment to professional photographers. At the same time he was learning away from the job one day a week, taking a City and Guilds diploma. He later described the training as “pretty basic”, focussed mainly on studio portraiture and working in a dark room. Redundancy after five years came as a blow but gave him the impetus to step out on his own as a photographer.

He called a friend at Picture Sport, a sports news agency that supplied photographs to national newspapers and magazines.

Soon he was getting regular work including as retained photographer to the Five National Rugby Championship, a position he held for a number of years. After talking his way into the Cheltenham Festival, he sent some images to Horse & Hound and although he admitted he knew very little about horses at the time, he made it clear he loved taking photographs and he was hired. The work snowballed and soon he was travelling all over the country and then abroad taking pictures of every horse sport from showing to polo.

He quickly made a name as an accomplished equestrian photographer and a well-known face renowned for delivering great images of some of the best sporting moments in the calendar whether at Badminton at Hickstead or Olympia. As part

time deputy picture editor on the magazine he enjoyed catching up with the office team and was not averse to a sharing in the gossip but in the great outdoors, taking pictures rather than filing them, was his happiest domain.

Reporting endurance sometimes required the same grit and determination as the riders and crews. Teasingly branded ‘longdistance knitting’ with good humour by some of the team in the office – it was anything but. We arranged to report our first ride together, the 160km at Cirencester Park in 1994 and as newly appointed endurance editor, I tentatively told David I would be there for the dawn start, thinking photography as the sun rose would be great but aware that given Horse & Hound’s notoriously tight budget and the difficulty of getting accommodation locally at that time of year, he would not make it. With no B&B to be had, I slept in my car and bleary-eyed just about scrambled to the start line notebook in hand and was surprised to see in the distance a tall figure with a camera down the track in what looked like a yellow sailing jacket. David had not only driven down from Surrey early enough to park and leap out of his car but had time to set up a perfect first-light shot. After a briefing on the route from the Jacquie and Alan Brown, over a much needed coffee and bacon roll, we planned the day ahead, realising unspoken that we both wanted the same thing from reporting a 100-mile ride – that what we produced would be different from what had gone before. We were still there as darkness fell and the last rider home crossed the finish. Our own marathon completed and a bond made.

As our coverage grew, the arrival of Arnold (Arnie) Garvey as Editor of Horse & Hound, took things to the next level and soon the sport was getting even lengthier coverage and David’s pictures went full page. The often maverick nature of endurance intrigued the independent-spirited Arnie. Interested in his own personal fitness and having ridden Arab racehorses and trained point to pointers, Arnie seized the opportunity to have a go at the sport himself and was soon hooked. Arnie was generous as an editor in recognising and fostering talent – he saw it in David and appreciated his dedication and dependability as well as his breath-taking imagery. Arnie’s support extended to enabling us both to follow the sport internationally.

David went to every one of the subsequent European and World Endurance Championships sending home pictures of Team GB that captured the atmosphere and magic of each occasion from the unforgettable autumn glow as the team rode together through the trees at Pratoni Del Vivaro at the European Championships in Italy in 1997 or in Compiegne in 2005 as British team riders Sally Hall and Ros Jackson flying home under floodlights long after all the other photographers had packed away.

He has left us with some iconic images. One, led to a rare disagreement between myself and Arnold Garvey, and is the only time that an endurance image has appeared on the cover of Horse & Hound, after the 1998 world championships in Dubai.

With some brilliant David Miller photography to choose from, while the British team had put in a gutsy performance on what was arguably the sport’s first foray into a desert misadventure, I spoke up for the winner, the gutsy, diminutive Valerie Kanavy as our cover girl. But Arnold Garvey spotted the significance of Sheikh Mohammed’s interest in the sport and his argument that a member of a Royal household, a head of state and more importantly from the magazine’s point of view, one of Thoroughbred racing’s leading patrons to be pictured taking part in a 100-mile ride was the bigger story won the day. David’s image Endurance Sept/Oct 2016

capturing the Sheikh, looking like an imperial general as he rode Nelson through the sand dunes, was a powerful one and a sign post to the sport’s new direction for the noughties.

Always down to earth, David was pleased at the growth of the sport but privately dismissive of some officials who appeared to revel in the trappings of office a little too much as the sport developed.

Quietly determined and deeply competitive were among words used to sum up David’s personality in tributes at his very well attended funeral. They explain why he was a perfect match as an unexpected champion for the sport of endurance as these attributes are probably the common denominator in most distance athlete’s success. In covering the sport, particularly at major championships where generalist equestrian photographers unused to the vagaries of covering endurance would be left flagging behind him, this came to the fore where he would always try to be first to the best spot. While the endurance family took this tall unassuming photographer to its heart, David’s gift in return will be a legacy of images that sum up the true value of partnership in every sense across the sport.

YOUNG RIDERS

Endurance GB Junior and Young Rider Camp 2016 -Onley Ground Warwick SUNDAY- ARRIVALS

All riders introduced themselves to the group by doing a presentation, we then went over the rules and plan for the week. We were given a riding group and a social team, which we would be in for many activities over the week. Each activity would give our social team points and as Beth kept saying, “points mean prizes!” We created our own team names and had ‘No Brakes’ and ‘The Mane Attraction’.

MONDAY

BY RACHEL JUDSON AND ELLA GREEN In the morning we all got up and fed and watered our horses, after that we met for breakfast at 8am. At breakfast we were informed of the groups that we would be riding in for the ridden session with Beth.

Once all of the horses were tacked up we met Beth in the outdoor arena for a flatwork lesson. During the lesson we worked the horses through their paces, using trotting poles and bending poles. All the horses were well behaved and relaxed. After everyone had ridden we met for lunch, during which Tricia Hirst arrived. Tricia kindly came to young rider camp to teach us all about fitness and nutrition.

The information and advice that Tricia gave us was very helpful and we all took it on board. We split into two groups, one group went with Tricia and the other went to a spillers nutritionist to weigh the horses and get feeding advice.

After both groups had done the activities we all met and we did a questionnaire with Beth, the questions were provided

by Andy and Nikki Thorne. Some of the questions were discussed as a group but some we had to do on our own as written answers. Once we had finished the questionnaire we had some free time to check on the horses and to chill out.

After a while we gathered together for dinner, once everyone

had finished we did a blind obstacle course, this meant that we had to go in pairs. In the pairs we took it in turn to be blind folded while the other one gave directions and instructions to guide us around the course.

After everyone had their turn the winners were announced!

Before bed we watched some TV and played a few games of pool. The first day of camp was brilliant!

TUESDAY

BY ANNABELLE LYNDON AND LISSIE REEVES In the morning, Jo Chisholm came and gave us a talk about FEI. She explained how to get involved and how to qualify for championships. Ann Dark also attended and gave us some useful riding tips. In the arena, Ann watched us ride in small groups and gave us some excellent pointers to help us get our horses going better. Ann also very kindly gave us a fleece, a large and small badge and a document bag all with the Young Rider logo on. After lunch, Bill Smith joined us and spoke about Arab Racing. It was interesting to learn about another discipline involving similar breeds of horse that we compete in Endurance. He explained how he got into Arab Racing and also endurance, we heard some brilliant stories! After dinner, we watched a few videos on youtube of endurance rides, we enjoyed various videos of endurance championships made by Carri-Ann Dark. We also watched an inspirational film called “Eddie The Eagle”.

The film is based on the life of Eddie Edwards, an Olympic Ski Jumper, it was very motivational because Eddie never gave up even when others didn’t believe in him.

WEDNESDAY

BY OLLIE HOLMAN AND BECCA PARSLER Today Cindy Russell came to do a goal setting session in the morning. We have a very mixed group at camp this year with ranging levels and ambitions. Cindy gave us an exercise to do using a washer suspended on thread to show us how our thoughts can cause us to make minute movements, we were able to control the washer using our thoughts so imagine how we affect our horses!

After lunch we split into riding groups to do some flatwork exercises based around cones and poles.

The exercises really helped to calm my (Ollie’s) pony down, she can be a bit speedy most of the time!

I’m (Becca) on a baby horse this year so the exercises really helped him to think about his feet, it turns out I’m not very good at accurate circles though!

In the evening Beth pulled out a box of plain white T-shirts that Ann Dark had found in her garage! They were all enormous but we had fun decorating them. Some are more artistic than others but we’ve all got a new pajama top at least!

THURSDAY

to block the opposition safely. We practiced this for a while and then played a small game. Jess and Hannah were on the same team and both had very speedy horses! Some of the ponies were much more into it than others!

BY BRYONY PARSLER AND HANNAH MASKELL In the morning we were introduced to Rachael FarleyClaridge who was going to give us an introduction into interval training. We were split into three groups and the people who were not riding were acting as time keepers and crew members, handing sloshes and water for the horses.

Again, there were different abilities so a range of average speeds and distances. Rachael explained the benefits of interval training for an endurance ride. After lunch we sat and asked Rachael lots of questions about different aspects of endurance. Later we practiced our ridden endurance tests that we had designed in our social teams. Beth gave us the task at the start of the week, we had to design a kind of dressage test but using endurance skills such as gates, sloshes and bending poles. It was great fun pretending to open and close an imaginary gate.

During dinner we were all getting very excited as it was nearly time for our polo lesson. We all got to choose which polo pony we got and were taught how to correctly hold the polo stick and the reins. The instructor taught us how to correctly hit the ball forwards and backwards and how

FRIDAY

BY JESS GRIFFIN AND ABI GANT After a rather damp start to the morning, we were split into groups and took the horses into the school to ride them before our ridden endurance tests. We practiced the skills we had learnt over the week from Cindy, Beth, Ann and Rachael. Afterwards we set up the school for our endurance tests. ‘No Brakes’ went first, with their test involving: walking and trotting sloshes, a gate, trotting poles, bending poles and getting off the wrong side as well as a trot up (as all rides involve those). This was followed by ‘The Mane Attraction’ who had: canter poles and a jump, a gate, a trotting slosh, bending poles and a trot up with a crew and a racing finish. After a great week, we finished with a presentation and finding out which team won!

Thanks must go to all of the visitors who came to camp to do talks, coaching sessions and demonstrations; Tricia Hirst, Sally Scott (Spillers), Ann Dark, Jo Chisholm, Bill Smith (ARO), Cindy Russell, Rachael Farley-Claridge. To Baileys and NAF for sponsoring the week with wonderful goody bags and prizes. To Andy and Nicki Thorne who prepared written and discussion questions on goals, success and marginal gains with 2 fantastic prizes: a trip to the World Endurance Championships in Slovakia and £100 to second place. Also to Beth Stokes for organising the week and to Lorraine Stokes and Coralie Holman for supervising Endurance Sept/Oct 2016

the week. Without these people camp would not be able to go ahead and we are extremely grateful to them.

Finally, thank you to all the riders who attended and to their parents for supporting camp. It is a lot of work to run the week but completely worthwhile when we see junior and young riders enjoying themselves and learning lots at Camp.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A GIRTH & ENDURANCE??

INTERNATIONAL ENDURANCE RIDER, LINDA COWPERTHWAITE GIVES HER VIEW

F

or many years the type of girth used didn’t really get much thought, the saddle is given many hours consideration, but the girth not so. Just as long as the girth fit and didn’t rub. If we were doing a big distance I’d use a girth sleeve. Always looking for improvements I started to question - Why use a girth sleeve?

• Is it to prevent the girth rubbing?

• To add extra comfort over the extra distance?

If this is the case surely I’d want comfort and eliminate any potential rubbing every time I rode the horse. Endless internet searches and tack shop digging and eventually I chose the Harry Dabbs Waffle Girth for a number of reasons; • I really liked the nice curved elbow shaped to prevent chaffing.

• The Waffle material is soft feeling and also encourages air flow. I noticed a less sweaty area than when I had used the sheepskin girth sleeve. The waffle material is easily wiped clean. Ideal to use on multiple horses and in the vet gates.

It’s like a new girth for every loop.

• The triple cross over elastic at both ends of the girth. To provide the flexibility and extra comfort for the horse as the ribcage moves and expands during exercise.

• Well-made and excellent strong stitching. Built in training aid loops which include a central Dee ring for breastplate attachment.

• Great value for money as it comes in at around £40.

• Non rust stainless steel roller buckles. Ideal for easily tightening up the girth once on board especially on a fidgety horse

Team H endurance have been really impressed with the Harry Dabbs Waffle Girth this season. We have now 3 in total in various sizes. Easily wiped clean after every use, so no worries about cross contamination or sore sensitive girth areas and the added bonus of no loss of the girth loop attachments in the vet gate any more.

I can highly recommend the Harry Dabbs Waffle Curved Girth.

It comes in Black or Havana, in standard in 2” increments and in Dressage type.

THE ADVENTURE WITH ALOERIDE...

SALLY TOYE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THIS PRODUCT OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS

O

ver a couple of seasons it seemed that everywhere I was, so was Han from Aloeride. I was always in trot or canter and there never ever seemed to be enough time to have more than a few passing words, as he was there videoing the riders in amazing and inaccessible locations.

He makes great videos of us all having wonderful rides and turns up in the most unexpected places.

Eventually at the Home International last year at Red Dragon, we finally had a chat, sitting enjoying the last warmth of the year’s sun inside Mia’s corral!

We found a lot of common ground in attitudes and values and the many things we can all do to assist our horses in competing better and healthier.

Not just that, but also the ability to look after the rider; we are a team after all.

Han is a very talented Physiotherapist and Health Professional, coming from a background of both Private Practice and very senior Consultant posts.

He asked if I would like to become a sponsored rider for Aloeride. I was very chuffed, as here was a fountain of knowledge which could only complement what I do and I was excited about the benefits of high quality aloe not just for Mia but for me as well. (I travel to India a lot and my gut was in need of some gentle rehab...)

So we have been using Aloeride for 9 months now; Mia is looking better than ever and I am a lot more knowledgeable about what I do and how I do it!

This year has been a stunning season for us. The highlight so far has been winning Best Condition award at the Lindum 172k ride.

We have also been picked to be part of the Home International Squad in the 160k spot, so no pressure then!

Since using Aloeride the differences I have noticed are that Mia has a healthier coat with a deeper shine to it and that’s not from grooming that’s for sure. Natural coat shine is the mirror to the health of your horse.

Her hooves are tougher and grow well, even without summer grass. We started Aloeride for her in October 2015 so that by the time we came to the spring competitions we could measure the differences.

She has a lower heart rate at vetting so, she is very content and more relaxed in herself even though she feels very well.

Her recovery is much faster after rides. At the Lindum 172k the final day 50k saw me being pulled round, as she had totally recovered from the previous 2 days.

Initially over the winter I had to cut her feed down; she absorbed the feed so much better she was getting a little fat (obviously I never commented as much to her as she is a chestnut mare with matching attitude).

Her worm count is lower this year, meaning her gut is healthier and the field management has not changed.

I have learnt a lot from Han and I understand that Aloeride supports both the microbiota and the microbiome. I know new words for me too.

The microbiota refers to the microbial population and the Endurance Sept/Oct 2016

microbiome refers to its genetic make up. Good aloe like Aloeride creates a favourable breeding ground for healthy, beneficial bacteria. And wherever there is an epithelial lining there is a microbiome. This about covers everywhere the stomach, intestines, skin and respiratory tract.

With a healthy microbiome the horse can have great health, protection and repair. This is one of the places I really see the difference as the ride recovery is so much better and the response to training has improved.

Mia and Elvis (my retired endurance horse) both get a sachet of Aloeride each day, which means they are getting 12 litres of unaltered and active nutrient dense aloe every month.

Every batch is tested by an accredited Newmarket Laboratory and there is nothing synthetic in the product. They both gobble it down, so it is obviously palatable.

Han runs a friendly, people orientated company and he has always been on hand to answer my many questions. In our brief time together I have benefited from his wealth of knowledge and we are getting better results. I am really hoping he will want to renew our contract, as the benefits are obvious to me and my horse just gets better and better...

THE BUA SADDLE A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR MARTIN VOYSEY

Bua Saddle Information The Bua saddle is an exciting new design in saddle technology, with a number of key features that make it incredibly innovative and unique.

The lightweight design, weighing in at only 4kgs, combined with the Bua Saddles’ cantilevered tree and panel system make this saddle a very versatile fit allowing one saddle to fit a range of sport horses, whilst evenly distributing the rider’s weight.

The key feature is its’ modular design making it possible to change all of the soft components of the saddle enabling the saddle to easily be changed from a dressage saddle to a jump saddle or GP in a matter of minutes.

This revolutionary saddle provides comfort for both horse & rider. available from www.dalewestern.co.uk in the UK

any months ago, scouring the internet for information on different saddles, I came across a small link for an article about the Bua Saddle, having never heard of them before I was intrigued and found myself clicking my way into the website to read the article. One of the first sentences talked about how lightweight the saddle was, as a man of 6ft 4inches lightweight definitely caught my attention, upon further reading I was hooked and this is how it came to pass that in February this year I completed my first endurance ride in the Bua saddle.

The Bua Saddle is available in a range of standard colours but bespoke colours are also available. Duchy Mimosa is a bay mare and so I decided to go for black leather with orange panels. I was a bit unsure at the time as to whether the orange panels would quickly become mucky and stained, but having now had the saddle for 6 months my fears were unfounded.

The panel covers are easy to remove and come up like new in the washing machine. The leather is also good quality, it is a non-oil treated leather and so after a ride I simply wipe it down with water, which makes life much easier after a long days riding.

When it arrived I was shocked at how light the box was, it couldn’t possibly have been my saddle that had arrived!

It was, and upon weighing it I now know that it weighs 4kgs, a fact that I am sure Duchy Mimosa appreciates across 80km. Although it is so lightweight I don’t feel as though it is fragile and it often gets some rough treatment at vet gates which it seems to stand up to.

The design is quite different from any other saddle that I had ridden in before; it is a cantilevered tree with a panel system. The tree is made from a lightweight carbon fibre that is widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries, that has been designed to cradle and cushion the horses’

movements. The panels are a good size for distributing weight evenly across the horses’ back and are made of memory foam which I see as being comfortable for the horse as it moulds to their shape.

Duchy Mimosa can at times be quite opinionated and is very quick to tell me if there is something she is unhappy about. I decided I would ride without a numnah the first time I rode in it to make sure that it fitted and be able to see any marks that may be on the panels after I had ridden. So with baited breath I led her down to the mounting block and gently hopped on; no reaction, not even so much as ears back!

So off we went on our first ride, I did find the saddle a little strange to start off with but having spent most of my life riding in western saddles I think that was to be expected. One thing that I noticed immediately was that she seemed to be striding out better than she had previously, possibly because the panels do not interfere in any way with her shoulders. When we got back from our ride I had a good look at the underside of the saddle and there were no areas where the saddle looked as though there had been pressure or rubbing. Having ridden initially without a numnah I decided to try with a sheepskin endurance pad; this made no difference to the fit of the saddle, Mimosa still felt as if she were striding out and there was no slipping or rolling of the saddle.

The Bua Saddle features an adjustable suspension, having had a play with the tension I would agree with the manufacturers’ advice that for endurance riders it is best to have the suspension as loose as it will go to offer a more comfortable seat for long periods in the saddle.

Another aspect that I liked about the saddle was the fact that you can take the saddle to bits, so for example, if the saddle was in good condition but the panels had become worn you can Official members publication for Endurance GB

just buy new panels instead of having to buy a whole new saddle. This is also the case for the saddle flaps, when initially ordering the saddle I bought the General Purpose model, but having ridden in it a few times I decided that it didn’t accommodate my long legs or the fact that I wanted to ride with relatively long stirrups and so I ordered a pair of dressage flaps, which have been much better. It was very easy to change the flaps over and it took a matter of minutes. The saddle also features a stirrup bar that offers two positions so you can use different bars for different saddle flaps as the front bar seems more DRESSAGE VERSION appropriate for the jumping flaps whilst the back bar seems better for dressage. Bua do manufacture their own webber stirrup leather in colours to match the saddle but in all honestly I think any webber type leathers would be fine, this is also the case for the Bua girth which is leather and may not be quite so suitable for our sport.

Overall I would say that over the past 6 months I have been extremely pleased with the Bua Saddle, as it seems has Duchy Mimosa. The fact that this saddle is so lightweight Endurance Sept/Oct 2016

but is also so strong has been a major plus for me. I have felt stable and confident in the saddle whether it be going up hill, down dale or through water crossings and Duchy Mimosa has never felt better. Duchy Mimosa and I have recently successfully completed the 80km at Barbury Castle in the Bua Saddle with flying colours, a testament to the Bua Saddle! So for me and Duchy Mimosa the Bua Saddle gets a big thumbs up!

SNIPPETS FROM THE SOUTH EAST

T

he South East Group’s rides have all gone very well this summer with Hornshill and Ashdown Forest National Rides in July and the Plumpton Racecourse Pleasure Ride in August.

South East riders are having a fantastic season figuring prominently in all of the National Championship league tables, good luck to all in your last rides of the season.

The new Birling Gap National Ride proved a great success with healthy entries – especially sweet as it was the first National Ride Linda Herriott had organised, Trilby Herriott had been Entry Secretary and Rebecca Northover had TS’d solo. A lot of joint hand-holding on the day! There were many lovely comments from riders. Charlotte Robinson who did the 64km class solo said “Thank you so much for an incredible day today. Everyone was so wonderful and patient waiting for us to finish and it was so lovely that so many of you saw us across the line.

Your support was so appreciated. It was a fantastic course and I maintain it was the best marked route I have been on in a very long time. Thank you for a fantastic day!”

Sandy Ralph said ‘In my opinion Birling Gap Ride must take the 1st rosette for spectacular views, marking and superb riding country’ – Let’s hope the word spreads and this new ride grows from strength to strength.

Suddenly we’re nearing the end of the season and only have two more rides left. Firle Pleasure Ride on 11th September and Devil’s Dyke National Ride on 25th September. Devil’s Dyke is hosting the Weald Trophy Championship. The Weald Trophy was introduced at the beginning of 2016 with the aim of encouraging non members to get the endurance bug – and it has really worked! We have six people qualified for the championship with the last qualifying ride at Firle still to come and more than fifty people taking part over the summer.
