Dear Sir/Madam,

Firstly i would like say thank you for a great show, even if weather was more like April!!!!

myself and my mum would like sponsor a champion each, for the next 2009 (most prob winter and summer champs if ok with yourself)? can we just print off a sponsorship off your web page and put 2009 instead of 2008?

Many Thanks

Hi Andrea,

What can we say, another amazing show. It was a marathon journey for us, 9 hrs, but worth every minute. Once again the organisation was second to none. Everything ran to the minute. Your judges were helpfull, friendly and constructive in their comments. We had fantastic results, but, the best part for me was one of your judges taking the time out to help and encourage my daughter back into the ring after a fright. Your choice of competitor friendly judges makes this the highlight of our showing calender. We met up with old friends and made new ones. What a weekend, and lots of lovely rossettes aswell.

Thanks again,

Karen, Georgia, Chasecroft Dimple and Crimson Fifth Edition.

Good Morning Andrea,

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you & your team for the wonderful time we had at the summer champs. This was out first time at the champs and we only joined as members this year but since we’ve been back we have told all our friends how wonderful the weekend was and how they must join and come with us next year. Everybody was so friendly and helpful my daughter was elated at getting through to the evening performance it made her season!!

A big thank you to Richard as he looked after her in the evening when her pony was a bit excited and even done the lap of honour with her! We will continue to support you and look forward to the winter champs!

Kind Regards

Good Morning all, Just a short mail to say a big thank you to you all for a super show. I think I can safely say that from all those who attended( I talk a lot). I met some lovely people gained a lot of helpful advice and tips. So to all those who think that showing people are snobby I met the most down to earth snobs ever!. I think that the committee and all those who helped and the judges did a super job, I am sure you all had some tricky momements with the weather and such like, these must have been very well disguised because from the outside you had everything under control or so it seemed. Could I just say again A SUPER SHOW THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE. If you need any help with sponsership just let us know we will be only to glad to help.

Hi Andrea, just attended your Championship show at Keysoe and I have to
commend you on a wonderful show. It was well run, everyone was helpful
and pleasant, venue was excellent and the judges in our rings were
competent and fair, in particular the young lady who did the indoor
ridden coloured classes, and no we didn't win! !! I do a lot of judging
and it was refreshing to see a judge who knew her craft. Thank you for
a fantastic weekend and I wish you further success in the future.
Regards,
Roy Mason Williams.

Good Morning Andrea

Let me start by saying what a wonderful show on Saturday! Thank you very
much to everybody involved in the organization - it was a real pleasure to
be a competitor at such a well run, friendly event.

Dear Andrea,
I just wanted to mail you to say thank you very much for such a wonderful day yesterday at Keysoe - it was fantastic, great fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

I appreciate how hard it is to organise a show of this scale but just like the shows we go to at the Jays it all seemed to be really timely and everyone knew where they should be.

We will be coming to Grantham and I will make sure the company I work for sponsor at least one class, (could be tricky as my MD doesn't really like animals but I will make him!) When the form is available on the website I will get that organised.

Many thanks

Hi,

Another marathon 7 hr journey, but it was worth it. Meeting up with friends we'd met at the Summer champs, friendly atmosphere, kids enjoying themselves, parents enjoying, that's what it's all about! We had a great time, some of our friends couldn't make it and were sorly missed. Fantastic show, friendly and very helpfull judges. Feedback from the judges was great. We had a great time and came home with a reserve champ (Dimple threw a shoe half way through the day and it was touch and go if we'd make the evening perf, but she stayed sound!)but the highlight for me was Georgia having a 3rd in the Concours class. Fantastic show, I'm trying to convince Dave that the extra 2hrs travellin to Arena UK will be worth it, we'll see if he gives in????? Thanks again Andrea.

Karen, Dave & Georgia and of course Dimple. XXX

Dear Andrea and Team,
I appologise for not having written to you yesterday, but I
was (and still am) on cloud 9 having had such an exciting
day on Saturday! The show was fab- so relaxed and everyone
so nice and friendly.
Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that my little cob
and I would win the Supreme Champ! I thought that I was only
there to make up the numbers and that was why I initially
ignored you when you pulled us out to do an individual show!
When the result was announced my friend fell off her chair!
The rosettes were beautiful from begining to end and the
sash is the grandest I've ever won. I run a showing show and
know how much rosettes etc cost and all the work that goes
into it. Thankyou so very much.
Our weekend was finished off in fine form when my ex
racehorse won the Ex-racers club qualifiers for the working
hunter and show horse at Leeds Castle in Kent, sort of on
the way home!! (I Actually drove a complete circuit of the
M25 over the weekend!)
Can't wait until the summer and if yoou would like some more
sponsorship let me know,
Best wishes,
Kathleen Botting and Bristol Blue (Harvey or Cow Pony to his
friends)

I should have typed sooner but just wanted to say thank you for a great winter champs. I have never been before and although my horse was the worst behaved he has ever been at a show in the morning he redeemed himself in the afternoon! My friend and I both said how friendly everyone was and how supportive they were when things didn't go to plan with my horse. The rosettes were lovely! The judges were all very good and were happy to give you constructive comments which is nice. It was so nice to go to a show that ran to the times in the schedule as well. The evening classes/championships were a lovely way to end the day. We're looking forward to the summer champs already!

The only request I would make is that there is slightly more relaxing music played during the day! My horse, being unused to music played at a show, decided his legs needed to work at the speed of the dance music at times!

You have asked for suggestions for classes at the summer champs. I have an ex-racehorse so it was nice to have the TARRA class at Keysoe. Is it possible to have a similar class at the summer champs? And perhaps an inhand class?

Thanks again

Dawn

Hi - just a note to say thanks very much for organising the championship show - we had a wonderful time but a bit hairy - our horse lost a shoe and we couldn't find a farrier to come out until about 1/2 an hour before his first class. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to worrk him in and he rather disgraced himself. He doesn't know that it is bad manners to let rip in a veteran's class!!! Here's to next year - thanks again - Emma Peel & Dear John

I did try to email you immediately but it kept bouncing back - just wanted to say thanks to you all, particularly to the Main Ring Stewards, who were unfailingly professional and helpful. Well done all of you!

Anne Cooper

I just wanted to say well done and a huge thank you, it was the first time we had visited the amateur showing society and we have a fantastic time. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and the show ran really well. Congratulations and we look forward to 2008. Sarah & Annie (Suttonwoods Blue Reflection)

Hello

Thank you once again for the most wonderful weekend of showing. You and you team work tirelessly to help everyone and never seem to be fed up with all the questions about classes and viewing result sheets!

Yet again great judges, stewards, organizers, and fellow competitors! We had a great weekend and my M&M ridden rossies were just amazing, and so very special to us. I would like now to express my interest in sponsoring this again for winter and summer champs. My older sister came competing this time for the first time in about 6 years and had a great time with her horse managing two 5th . This was such an achievement for her as the horse has taken her 4 years to get to a point where he could even attend a show. She is now planning to bring two to the winter and is determined to make it into the evening performance this time, it is great to see her back enthused to compete! We look forward to the winter champs and another weekend with our

friends at amateur showing

If I can help and support the society in any way then please let me know.

Thanks Julia

Dear Andrea,

After a very long journey (61/2 Hrs) We finally made it to Bedford. It was worth the journey! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Georgia made it into the Eve performance and all the stewards made sure she and her very nervous pony were safe. When they were awarded the Res Champ I cried!!!

What a fantastic time we all had. We've made some terrific friends and can't wait untill April to do it all again!.

Thanks again for the wonderfull organisation and friendly atmosphere.

We'll see you in April,

Karen, Dave & Georgia and of course Dimple. (Swansea, S Wales)

Andrea
We arrived home last night tired but still on a high. What a fantastic well
organised show. It is the first championship we have been to and we
definatly hope to return next year. The timing on the classes was great you
knew where you were surposed to be and at what time, the classes never ran
early or late they were as they were advertised on the shedule. I would
like to thank Andrea and her team on a very special and I think extremly
successfull show. This show is a must if you are thinking of going to your
first championship the freindships and support we have received were first
class and we intend to remain in contact with the good friends we have made.
It was very refreshing to see judges/stewards helping competetors
encountering proplems (in the WHP and pony club pony) at the jumps to get
their horse/pony over the jump not many would take this very important time.

Well done once again Andrea we hope to see you next year.

Kathryne, Stephanie & Chloe Cubello (Durham)

I would like to comment on such an enjoyable winter championship show. The timekeeping was excellent during the whole day, which is not an easy feat with so many classes to cover. The evening performance was made a special occasion for which I and I am sure all involved enjoyed. What fabulous rosettes ! - I can honestly say they are the best I have ever seen and Will (Bilbo) who can be a bit of a baby with this sort of thing was extremely proud and happy to wear the superb sash round his neck. And what can I say about the trophy - BIG - and definitely worth winning. THANK YOU for a memorable day and I will be looking forward to future shows. Georgina Blantern and Will (BIlbo)

It was my first time and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't get a chance to look at the photos on the day - can you let me know who the photographer was so I can check their web site?

Many thanks

Clare Peterson

Thank you for all the hard work that Andrea and her team have put in to the winter champs. Such a shame that nobody could have thanked the organisers and their little helpers on the night, as without them there would be no show. Keep up the good work

Debbie Chloe and Jack xx

I am writing to thank you for a very pleasant show at Keysoe last Saturday, I enjoyed it very much, although didn't do very well! My cob is going through his annual difficult phase mainly brought about by his desire to eat as much grass as possible at this time of year and my determined opposition. Thus we argue a lot.

Sally Harte

Hello Thank you to all concerned for once again running a fab show for all your members!! We had a great time and really enjoyed our time both in and out of the ring. I hope you are now having a well earned rest J

Julia xRegards,Julia Donald
