The committee is looking to change the Club Show Classes for 2012, to include more Jumping Classes to range from 50cm to 1m, more Ridden Showing Classes and some In Hand Classes. Members will also be able to ride more than one horse or pony at Club Shows
Lots of ideas surfaced at the A.G.M. and the committee welcomes members opinions before the schedules are finalised. If you have any comments please contact Althea or Sally or leave your comments on TICKHILL RIDING CLUB – FACEBOOK PAGE. We want to put on the right classes and need members opinions to achieve this!
The start of the ‘2012 Dressage Leagues’ will begin with the first competition at the end of February at Northern Racing College.
All the classes will be Equestrian Life Qualifier’s which cost nothing extra to be included (no registration cards this year) and anyone scoring 62% or more in all the classes will qualify for the finals at Sheepgate in March 2012.
Tests will be IB, P7, P18, N27 and E42. Entry forms can now be downloaded from the Events Diary page.
The final competition in the inaugural ’2011 Dressage Leagues’ brought out a record number of entries - 96, and a full days competition! Due to the high number of entries we also decided to split the classes into seperate Junior and Senior. It’s great to see so many young riders showing an interest in dressage.
The classes were all competitive and places at the top of the leagues were finally decided, some just as the sun went down! Congratulations to the League winners:
Intro League: Sarah Lee and Sidney,
Prelim League: Jo Wilson and Leo,
Novice/Elementary League: Stephanie Rapson and Folly’s Dance.
The Highest Placed Junior’s were:
Intro League: Hannah Comery and Gallois Champagne Charlie,
Prelim League: Lauren Hand and Dillan’s Destiny
Novice/Elementary League: Anna Griffin and Galaxy.
Everyone commented on how nice the trophies and rosettes were and I think many of the competitors have their eye on winning them next year!
We would like to thank all the judges, writers, helpers and of course competitors for making the dressage competitions so popular and successful this season and we look forward to starting again in February 2012.
The results and final league tables are now on the Results Pages.

There was a fantastic number of entries (just shy of 80) for our always popular annual Combined Training /Dressage Competition. This meant having to have 2 dressage rings (a first I think for an event held at he Club Field) and having to rope in some extra helpers. Thank you to everyone who helped the day run as smoothly as possible.
The intermittent rain whilst a shame didn’t ruin the day and everyone seemed to enjoy the competition
Yet again another well attended Open Show despite changing the date quite late, the Bank Holiday show dates have proved rather popular this year!
The final club show of 2011 saw the annual ‘Roger Stubbins Memorial Puissance Trophy’ classes which were keenly fought out in all the age groups.
Congratulations to the winners: 12 years and under – Equal 1st: Shannan Dickenson & McKenzie Brailsford = 87cm, 13 to 16 years – Jessica Hand = 97cm and 17 years and over – Donna Eves = 1.30m!
Thankfully the rain from last year didn’t return and instead glorious sunshine which although preferable to rain became a little too much by the afternoon.
Yet again lots of new faces and everyone seemd to enjoy the days varied events. The dog jumping was once again one of the most popular classes!
