GOOD LUCK!

Also when I took them all out I decided I would spend ages lining them all up on the shelf. But they fell over. Several times. So I gave up and went back to the pile system.

Tanner

And the winner of the Vintage club vote is......



The pinto!!!

Tanner is a gorgeous black freehand pinto and will be available to Vintage Club members in 2018. I'm definitely going to be looking for this one on the second hand market, he is lush!

Eldora & Sol

They have already sold out! So sorry for the poor quality email picture, it's all I have! Should have been more on top of my Blogging

Mirado & International Stablemate Club 2nd Shipment

Mirado is now available to order as is the final shipment for international members.



So excited about my Icelandic! I SO WANT THAT SPLASH!

Western Performance Photoshow

This month's theme is Western Performance so of course we are running a special Western Performance theme photoshow.

The show is open to all makes and models but they must be shown in Western tack with appropriate riders/handlers.

Non-ridden Western entries such as Western Showmanship would be acceptable.

The show is completely free to enter and there are rosettes and goody bags for the winners. We also issue PDF certificates for 1st - 6th place.

If you would like more information on how to enter please visit our website here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/western-performance-photoshow-94-w.asp

GOOD LUCK!

Recycled Live I

Entries for our first live show of 2018 are now...OPEN!

Recycled Live I is being held on the 3rd of March 2018 in our usual hall in Lewknor, Oxfordshire.

This show is all about recycling and reusing. So there will be second hand certificates, rosettes and trophies. Which means a lower entry fee *yay*

There are going to be three shows in total but show number one is for North & South American breeds.

It includes four in hand sections (OF, CM, CTF & AR), a performance/fun section and an other animal section, including five performance classes for other animals.

The show is bound to be a fun day, with a relaxed ethos and atmosphere. There are some really unusual fun classes and we encourage all of you to get involved in whatever way you can.

Even if you cannot attend please think about donating a raffle prize. The charity for this show is Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment.

I shall get a schedule and tickets added to the website shortly but in the meantime you can join the Facebook group here: www.facebook.com/groups/195244711034878/

There are 15 spaces available in total. Payment only secures your space.
