Hi Riders, Hope our riders enjoyed our May club day and the Mothers out their enjoyed their ride on Mother's day. Big thanks to Viv Axton for judging for the most part of the day and to the volunteers for helping out. Thanks as always to Jenny Wall for doing all the behind the scenes work as well as being there for the whole day helping and Jen Ashley for supplying us with a delicious lunch. Hope the new members that rode enjoyed the venue and the day. Well we still have a great year ahead and lots of events to enjoy with a few extra activities to keep us all busy.

Wanted to buy

I’ve recently become a member of the club. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to attend club days, (due to a few reasons), one being the return of my lease horse to his owners which leaves me horseless. I’m searching for a horse to buy, and wondered if I could list my requirements (see below) in the hope you could broadcast to members please... Wb or wb x gelding 8-12yo Competition experience Pref elementary-medium Dressage Safe to hack out and take to ARC/club days Consolidated education, light to ride, sound, no vices, generally just an easy to be around, been there done that schoolmaster Height 15-17hh Pref Vic at this stage however will travel for right horse Healthy flexible budget for right horse (happy to discuss privately) Keeping an open mind so happy to hear about horses slightly outside my current ideal. Also happy to be tagged on FB, emailed or phone, details below. Thank you so much, Belinda belinda_loccisano@yahoo.com 0414 444 796

The term Windsor Grey is given to grey horses used by the Royalty of the United Kingdom to draw carriages and coaches in various ceremonial processions and, since 1986, when The Queen is Trooping the Colour. They are stabled in the Royal Mews. Some have also represented the crown in various carriage combined driving competitions, at times driven by Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Two Windsor Grey horses, Claudia and Storm, at the Royal Mews in London are available for observation daily. Storm was featured in a statue with another of the type, Daniel. Storm and Tyrone, another Windsor Grey, pulled the procession carriage through Windsor for the Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on 19 May 2018.
