EHOA – AGM Burghley
It was great to see so many of you over the weekend at Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials. It was a challenging weekend weather-wise with beautiful sunny days and rainy days but it had a brilliant atmosphere and congratulations go to all.
The AGM was well attended and I am delighted to report that all new board members were duly elected. Jeremy Skinner commented on the 2015 accounts (available on the website) and confirmed that subscription income for 2016 was holding steady. If you were unable to join us, you can read the chairman’s welcome speech here.
We recently awarded prizes at Bricky and South of England.
The prizes at Bricky went to to the Amateur O/R in the IN section and one Novice section.
The winners were Sarah Helfer riding Chilly Boy – she came 2nd in the IN and Stacey Littlejohns riding Roland Ronald – she came 13th in the Novice. The Pimms Jugs were gratefully received!
Over at South of England on the same weekend Nick and Barbara Walkinshaw received the EHOA Owners Award of a glass engraved bowl, as their horse Billy Walk On won the CIC 2*
Sarah Holmes, the owner/rider of the CIC 1* winner Dunganstown Fleur was presented with the EHOA bowl.
Our final event of the season, Aldon, took place last weekend – October 23rd – 26th.
We had a busy time in the hospitality tent and we saw many members & owners of competing horses over the three days.
Congratulations to Louise Harwood and her owner Cynthia Higgons for winning the EHOA award in the 2* with Jenga
Will Furlong won the 1* on his own Elstar, and won the EHOA award.
Plans for the dinner are well in hand – the evening is a sell out and we are looking forward to a great night to finish the season off.
