2023 Winter Hacker Mileage

Over the Winter, members will be able to record their mileage to be able to claim a Winter Mileage award and be in for a chance to win the award for "Winter Hacker".

Short days and usually damp weather makes Winter drag on for many of us equestrians. To help us through the winter we have set up a couple of challenges for our members. The Winter Hacker means simply recording the mileage that you are covering with your 4 legged friend over the winter months.

2023 Winter Versatility Challenge

Very few pleasure rides and no competitive rides over the winter means that for some us, we switch to other disciplines or maybe just like to mix up our training.

Short days and usually damp weather makes Winter drag on for many of us equestrians. To help us through the winter we have set up a couple of challenges for our members. The Winter Versatility Challenge allows our members who like to give a few different things a go a chance to show us what they get up to over the winter. From Agility to Arena Eventing everything counts! This award is for the most versatile horse/pony....who will take that title for the winter of 2023?!

In Memory of Mike Jordan

We approached Lowther Estates who own the area around CP1 at Cumbria Challenge about a memorial and they are kindly allowing us to plant 3 trees & place a plaque at the site of CP1 in memory of Mike.

With guidance from Jamie at Wildroof Landscapes, we will be planting 3 Rowan trees at the site this Autumn. The plaque text has not yet been decided but we will discuss this with Barbara to come up with a fitting tribute

In years to come these trees will grow and eventually provide some welcome shade to the horses and riders as they pass through CP1, as well as for walkers and visitors to the area, a little acknowledgement to the comfort many riders felt when they saw Mike & Barbara in this spot as they headed for home.

The funds that were raised in Memory of Mike will be going towards the cost of this memorial
