Chairman to retire

It is with some sadness that we wanted to let you know that our Chairman Cathy Butler will be retiring at the end of June this year. Cathy as served as EHOA Chairman for nearly 7 years and during this time has worked tirelessly to improve our sport for Owners. Much of her work goes unnoticed as she coordinates with all areas of the sport but the effects are experienced by all our members and many more. We have been fortunate to have someone as committed as Cathy and we would like to thank her and wish her all the very best for her future endeavours.

Cathy has done a great job empowering us as the EHOA Board and we are all excited to continue our work for owners. The Board’s roles are on our website (ehoa.org/board), if you have any questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to reach out to the relevant Board Member.

The 2019 season has started with great excitement in the sport of eventing.  We would like to thank all of you who have join us at events and we hope to see you again soon.

Best wishes

The EHOA Board

Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials

On behalf of the whole team at Shearwater Insurance we’d like to wish everyone heading to Badminton Horse Trials this week the very best of luck.  Whether you are attending for the Mitsubishi Motors Cup, the CCI5* or with young horses for the BYEH qualifier, Badminton is such a special event and we know just how much it means to be attending. 

We’re very lucky to have had competing horses at the very top level, with Shearwater H20 and Shear L’eau, we therefore understand the stresses, strains, emotional rollercoaster and anxious moments that you will all be going through.   

Having supported the Grassroots competitors, through the EHOA, for a number of years we love seeing the vast array of rider stories, the ups and downs and the hurdles that some have overcome to achieve their Badminton dreams.  We applaud your efforts and hope you enjoy the ride. 

We look forward to attending this year with Shearwater Killane, our new 5-year-old, and will be just as nervous watching make his ‘eventing’ debut as we will be when he hopefully makes his international debut later in life. 

Remember to enjoy the journey, enjoy the ride and most of all stay safe! 

Jeremy Lawton – Shearwater Managing Director

In memoriam: Sally Munden

It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of Sally Munden.

Over the years Sally was a hugely supportive Owner to many West Country young riders. Her valued pragmatism and realistic expectations enabled her to enjoy close relationships with them. Sally understood the sport and the ups and downs that owning horses brought with it. Even on the worst days Sally always managed to bring an element of humour to proceedings and see the funny side of things.
