Hi All Equestrians, Tired of driving down to Shongweni, but would like to attend Equitation Shows, then please can I get an indication of Interest for Equitation Shows to be held @ Ulwazi Farm in 2023 for Riders keen to qualify for Youth Champs in July?? Potentially the 1st Show would be the weekend 18/19th March 2023. If you would like a schedule please leave me your email address and whether a Saturday or a Sunday works bets for you??

**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays MEME is relating to the importance of using a mounting block when mounting. Whilst appreciating that we should have the “skill” of mounting, using a high mounting block (relative to horse) is useful. Here you see a still image on the left of a horse being mounted from the ground, and on the right, the pressures beneath the saddle at that point. 🤓

Morning Mantra: “Pay more attention to a person’s intention rather than their appearance. Don’t confuse their soul with their shell.”

We are so quick to judge others in our society. Social media doesn’t help. Most people are pretending to be someone they think others will like or “follow”. But the purest, most giving people often come disguised as someone you wouldn’t naturally be drawn to. Be open to them. Look at their actions, not their appearance.

People make mistakes, even with the best intentions. If you have been hurt by someone, try to look at what they intended to do. Was it to cause you pain? Or are they ignorant of their impact? Intention is everything in this case. It’s easier to forgive someone if you think they didn’t know better.

Then there are those that appear pure and loving with the worst intentions. Be careful, watch closely, they will eventually reveal themselves.

To All the intrepid budding Eventers Old and New, Job well done to all of you, who came out to play @ Ulwazi Farm This weekend!!! Saturdays Cross Country Training certainly paid off... from hesitant steps both ponies/horses and Riders, have grown over the weekend in confidence and experience... If this format is working, we would like to do this again. As most will know Oaksprings have now moved to the 14/15th May. That puts Ulwazi Farm's New Dates of 4/5th June at a disadvantage as 2 shows so close together is not kind on Riders/Parents pockets financially as both require travel and accommodation.
Please can I have feedback from you the Riders/Parents of little Jockeys as to what you want!! I can move our show again!! So we have 1 show a month??
We will Need to cheek the Dressage and Show Jumping Show Calendars and see if we can confirm all the officials are available, all over again!!
The Weekend 11/12th June is a possibility, the following weekend is a big Show Jumping Show @ Shongweni so that is out or I must look at the end of August?? Feed back from you all please...
