Western Clinic & Practice Show
Llanerch Equestrian Centre 4th May
Sunday the 4th of May saw the first Western Clinic and Practice Show at the Llanerch Equestrian Centre, in Area 2. The day dawned a touch miserable on the weather front, but the enthusiasm of the participants could not be dampened. (Apart from a significant soaking during the trail class!!)  |

The practice day was designed to welcome new participants
to the sport and to also provide a much needed environment for both
inexperienced horses and riders alike to "have a go". The morning sessions were
broken down into three main areas - Pleasure and Horsemanship, which was
instructed by David Brindley, Trail, which was instructed by Tim Keeley, and
Showmanship which was instructed by Michelle Surguy Price, all of whom gave the
benefit of their experience free of charge. The participants then got the
chance to put into practice what they had learned with slightly more formal
show classes being run in the afternoon, kindly judged by David
Brindley. |

A unique opportunity to gain insight into what the judges are looking for, gain tips and hints from the instructors, together with open discussion at all stages of the day, provided a unique and fun learning experience, none of which would have been possible without the immense effort that was put into organising the event by Jeanette and Tim Keeley. Our thanks must also go to the other instructors, and especially to the proprietor of the LLanerch Equestrian Centre, Sian Greeley Jones, who provided the use of her excellent facilities free of charge enabling the whole day to be run at no cost to the membership  |
