🌸🐴 TERM 4 KICKS OFF THIS WEEK! 🎉💕

CEC welcomes all our riders back to lessons tomorrow, Wednesday 14th October.

With summer just around the corner, the days getting longer and the weather warming up, we’re looking forward to making the most of those beautiful sunny days at the stables! ☀️🌷

It’s hard to believe we’re heading into our final term of the year! And what better way to wrap up another fantastic year than with our Christmas Camp on the 18th, 19th and 20th December for the kids 🎄🐴🎅

Keep an eye out for more details on that coming soon… 👀🎁

An extra reminder that there are no lessons over labour weekend, 24th & 25th October, this has been accounted for in your term invoices.

If we are a little slow to reply to emails at the moment, bear with us, there is always a lot of work going on behind the scenes 🐴 We will aim to get back to you as soon as we can.

🌸 See you all back in the saddle! 🐴💕

Quadrille Riders! 🐴✨

Here is the link to the test that all four of our adult groups are working towards:

It is SO exciting seeing how much everyone is progressing with this test! 😍 We’re now at the stage where the groups are starting to put all the movements together from start to finish which is awesome.

And of course, we need to add a little bit of friendly competition… 🏆

By week 9 or 10 depending on the groups availability, we’re planning to have the boss, Christine Callaghan, judge each group’s test in person! Each group will also be filmed, and once all four videos are in, Chelsea and Christine will review and assess them together.

We’ll then announce the final placings from 1st–4th! 🥇🥈🥉🏅

So… the competition is officially on! 😍🐴

Keep practising, work together as a team, and most importantly — have fun with it! ❤️
