This week we celebrated two of our adult volunteers birthdays. Both were down the field to celebrate on their birthday! It has been a lovely sunny week and it was great to have such nice weather on such a special day. It was a particularly special day for Jack as he was 84 today!!

Today whilst the saturday morning riding was going on Mini and freddie went to an in-hand show at Swallowfields Equestrian centre with Amelia, Shona and Ellie. Min came first in the Mountain and Moorland with Amelia and Shona came second in the junior handler with Freddie. As it was a qualifier they now get to go to another show in the summer at the royal show ground at Stoneleigh Deer Park. Well done all!

This saturday we were visited by Julie and Lauren and their family who used to own Maisey, Tara and Rosa. They came to visit the ponies in their new home and were particularly pleased to see Tara being ridden as she had always been difficult to ride in her previous home.

To do the paperwork for the youth capital fund application some of us met together for a meal and an opportunity to do some paperwork. We wrote the bid together and all had ideas about how we would like to improve our organisation if we had the funding.

There was a lot of paperwork to look at and to do as we have to explain what our organisation does and how it benefits young people

Then food arrived and we got a bit distracted!

Then food and paperwork.

Then more paperwork!

Then pudding!!
