Hi everyone

Hilary here:

There is just 100 days to go until our musical ride at HOYS!

We can hardly wait – we were measured for our costumes this week and saw what they would finally look like. Personally, I prefer the boys’ costumes over the girls’, but I would say that – I play a boy!

The music has been finalized and we are now working hard learning the cues. It is important for us to remember these so that we can slow down if we are going too fast or vice versa. I think you will love the music – I do! We all can’t help but sing along all the time. We will have to try very hard not to when we are performing – although you will probably be singing along too.

There is only one more practice before the summer holidays and we are trying to make sure that it is perfect before we take a break. There is a lot to look forward to in the holidays – the Area qualifiers for dressage, show jumping and eventing. Pony Club Camp (yippee) and NO SCHOOL!

I also have to tell you about some other amazing news – our branch has been asked to perform at the Royal Show in celebration of the 80th Anniversary of the Pony Club.

Not our musical ride, but a sort of parade. We will be appearing three times during the day on July 9. There are about 40 of us doing the ride and it covers all the disciplines of the Pony Club. If you are at the Show come and see us.

Bye for now, keep riding
Hilary
