huge thanks to everyone who joined in our sponsored easter egg hunt or showjumping competition

so far we have raised £750, with some sponsor money still to come in, we hope to raise a total of £1000. . all funds will go to our new arena, and all the added extras that we feel will benefit the children during their lessons.

lochore meadows equine team

a great day out at howe equestrian centre yet again, and nice to attend such a well organised event. even though it was a bit chilly and we had lost feeling in our fingers and toes. the team B members were delighted with 4 double clears and with fast enough times won the novice class, with another trophy to take home we will need a bigger trophy cabinet.... 2 adult memebers and 2 team A members made up the team - defying gravity!!!!!!!!! (which they did) new horse and rider partnerships made this an interesting day for them all behaved and after a wee bit more training am sure will be another winning team. team A had their first venture out in 4 months, with horses a bit fresh we had a couple of faults and it wasnt to be their day, however determined as they are we will put in some extra training sessions and it wont be long till they are winning red ribbons again. our team horse looked in superb condition after their snowy winter. well done to all of you

we hope to select teams to compete at the fife hint pony club team event at the end of january, we will keep you updated.

happy new year

happy new year to everyone at lochore meadows equestrian centre.
the snow has not stopped us and we have had a busy festive season.
the christmas party was great, everyone danced and played games untill we were all exhausted.
we had a dressage competition and a showjumping competition during the holidays too, everyone who attended went home with rosettes, and a great effort was made by all competitors to ride a great dressage test and made the judges job very difficult to find an overall winner. which was emma calder riding trixie.
lessons have been running as normal, and remember to use your christmas card voucher before the end of january.
