February Newsletter

Clubmark-logoWe’re Clubmark accredited! After months of hard work, we have achieved this award. Clubmark is an accreditation scheme covering a variety of different sports and is specifically designed for clubs with junior members.  Clubmark is the Sport England mark of high quality clubs, reassuring both parents and participants that the club is of a high quality with a welcoming environment for young people.

The mark is awarded to clubs that can satisfy minimum operating requirements in four areas of the playing programme. We are the first riding school in Cornwall to achieve this status and only one of 24 in the whole of the UK! For more details regarding this achievement, please see our website.


This news was a great boost to the start of 2011 and made winter feel slighty more bearable! February signals for most of us the end of winter. The nights are starting to draw out and there is the promise of better weather around the corner. Well, hopefully!

This month we have given you the opportunity to get some extra practise in regardless of your discipline.
We have various competitions and are also hosting a lecture/demo with Richard Waygood, which we hope people will be curious enough to attend! We also start our various badge evenings/days so pony club centre members please keep your eyes peeled for dates!

Clear Round Day

Sunday 6th Feb
Due to the popularity of this event we have managed to squeeze another date in during the winter. This is your chance to jump around a course without any pressure so is an ideal opportunity for young riders, green horses or anyone who feels a bit rusty and would like to get some practise in. It also allows horses to see the scary fillers or just get some exercise after a long winter! For those riders hoping to compete in the Puissance at Spurs at the end of March, it will also be your last opportunity to have a go at the red wall! The schedule can be found on the events page of our website. Cost is £2 a round or £3 for a clear round rosette.)

Unaffiliated Dressage Evening

Friday 25th Feb
Our next dressage will be on this date. Please get your entries in asap as lack of entries by the closing date may mean we will not run the competition. We are happy to take late entries but have added an extra £1 to the entry fees for late payment or additions. The schedule can be located on website.

Outdoor arena

Dressage Academy

17th Feb
From 7pm-8pm. This session is aimed at riders who have achieved a proficient level of riding and who wish to develop their understanding of this discipline. These sessions are different to normal lessons in that the focus is on one particular aspect of dressage during the evening eg use of the seat. Videos are also used to help riders to understand the technical aspects of the sport better.
Costs £12 on own horse or £20 to use one of ours. This clinic is limited on numbers so book early.
