Danielle as you know the two cheques you issued to cover the cost of your membership & the training session have both been bounced, with the comment ” Account Closed”

It transpires that you closed this account last year, so I must assume you issued the cheques to us with full knowledge of the fact that we would not be get the funds added to our account. 

The fact that you have not had the common decency to even contact us despite all our efforts to speak to you leaves us no alternative but to now notify all of our members that your actions have effected of this selfish act.  Riding Clubs Office have also been informed & your membership cancelled.       We hope you are pleased with  yourself.

hey guys, in case you missed this I think you might enjoy listening to the latest edition of Open Country going out on Radio 4 today!

Talks a lot about the exponential growth in less knowledgable horse owners due to the decline in the number of riding schools and the challenges for the horse industry that this brings…

I really would like to speak to Daniel Lyon at her earliest convenience,  if anyone knows  where or how  she can be contacted, other than her mobile which she doesn’t answer, or her email address which bounces every contact.  I would prefer her to contact me if she cares at all.

Our Winter season Tuesday evening instructional rides at Warwickshire College alternate weekly between jump and flat lessons.

Our regular jump trainer, Derrick, is sadly very poorly at the moment and we send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

With Derrick signed off sick for the foreseeable future I have discussed various options with a number of members and there seems general agreement for trying a mix of instructors on these Tuesday evening slots with variety of names already put forward.

We would very much like to keep the momentum going whilst Derrick is putting his energy into recovery so if you are interested in joining us on Tuesday evenings and have any suggestions for instructors please get in touch via training@stoneleighridingclub.co.uk

I would ask all members to sign the petition asking the Government to give them a say in all new access & rights of way legislation.

Sign the petition at   http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Equestrianaccess/

Equestrians are the most vulnerable of road users& need increased off-road access for their safety & the welfare of their horses. Horse riding & carriage driving provides healthy outdoor exercise which the Government is keen to encourage, it is enjoyed by over 4 million peoplein the UK & is the second biggest land based industry but equestrians have not been included in the recent access- creating legislation which would help make them safer & encourage healthy outdoor recreation.   

Please sign we can’t all ride on surfaces or use equestrian centres.
