Polocrosse
Why not start the New Year by trying out a new Pony Club sport? Area 12 and the Pony Club polocrosse committee have arranged for Iain Heaton, UKCC Level 2 Polocrosse Coach, to run two polocrosse taster days at Bryerley Springs Equestrian Centre, Milton Keynes. Polocrosse is great for Pony Club members, helping them improve their balance and riding while also playing an incredibly fun and addictive sport! Most horses and ponies take to the game very quickly. Iain has many years of experience of coaching complete beginners in the Pony Club and getting both members and their horses used to the equipment and the game. So, whether you’re a complete beginner or have played beforecome along to the taster sessions and have a go.
Polocrosse taster sessions will take place at Bryerley Springs Equestrian Centre, Milton Keynes, on 7th January and 4th February. The cost is £10 per member for 1.5-2 hours, and you can book in as you would do for rallies. See further info on the flyer on the website.
Dressage Team Manager
We are delighted to welcome our new Dressage Team Manager, Charlotte Terry. Charlotte and her family have been very active members of the branch for several years and we are thrilled that she will be leading the way. Please let Charlotte know if your child would like to be included in Dressage or Prix Caprilli teams for next summer and the training sessions and also if you are attending any local shows so we can continue to support our members. Her email
Quiz Team Manager and Fleet Co-ordinator Vacancies
Please note we still have a vacancy for Quiz Team Manager. The first competition is February and we need to start practising soon. We have plenty of resources to help.
We also need a fleet coordinator for our branch trailers. Just making sure our trailers are serviced and available for use when required. They are stored at various places around the area, so you would need a tow bar and wecan reimburse mileage. We have an excellent garage in Great Horwood who we can arrange invoicing with direct, so it is just a matter of organising it all.
Many thanks
Alison.

Wanted - My 11 year old daughter Imi has been a member of pwpc for a couple of years and has been riding her 12hh3 pony Jazz and had a super time building up from show jumping to just start xc. She is now jumping 70cm. We are looking for her next pony (14-14.2) and there is nothing currently available through pwpc and so we wondered if anybody knew of any ponies coming available through the nearby pony clubs.
Any contacts would be very much appreciated, we are based just outside of Bedford near Bromham.
