POLO
During the summer polo practices will be organised on a basis of ‘whenever we can’ but with weather uncertainties and other commitments on the use of the ground it is impossible to predict these more than a week or two in advance. For this reason if you are in any way interested in seeing what Polo is like, please contact the Team Manager Mrs Anna Hunt (01572 787635/07984 696083) who will be able to let you know about any practices etc. She is very keen to find a few more members to join the Polo group. Keep a close eye on the Cottesmore Hunt Pony Club Face book page and also on the Online bookings page of the website.
EFFICIENCY TESTS
All those who are waiting to take their B Tests should speak with our Head Coach Linda Pearce who will discuss your ability and plan your preparation with you.
E and D Tests will be taken at Junior Camp
D+, C and C+ Tests will be prepared for and taken as described above.
If you would like to take your next Test please contact:
D+ and C Tests Preparation Becci Williams:(07772 285011)
C+ Test Preparation Jo Holmes-Cole: (07758 295463)
The cost of the preparation and taking the Test will be calculated once we know how many candidates we have.
ACHIEVEMENT BADGES
Dates for achievement badges are being planned and will be on website shortly
JUNIOR CAMP RALLIES
The 4 evening rallies to help prepare junior members for the summer camp are itemised in the main dates above. Members are very much encouraged to attend at least 3 of these ralliesif they wish to come to camp. This is in order to help our coaches group riders correctly at the start of camp. If you are unable to attend please talk with the training team regarding your child’s abilities so that they can be appropriately grouped.
LINKS WITH THE COTTESMORE HUNT
We hope to organise Hound Exercise on Bicycles during July (early morning) and also a Hound and Horn ride for minis and Juniors. As soon as we have details we will publicise it through the website and on the Cottesmore Hunt Pony Club Fb page (
