Long Eaton RC Presentation Photos by Trafford Photography
Friday 25th November saw the end of Year presentation evening for Long Eaton Riding Club. The evening started with a long list of thank you`s for the helpers and sponsors without whom the show cannot run, and also the retirement of some of the long standing committee, Rose Hares & Bev Wrathall, presentations of gifts were given by Chair Mandy Burchill.
Trophies gleaming and lots of excited people, we began the task of announcing the annual winners. A bitter sweet evening for one family in particular, little Eleanor Wild won a mass of trophies this year, including Most Improved Lead Rein Rider, Overall Lead Rein, Pony with the most points to name a few and was our overall points supreme champion, the first time in many years that a lead rein rider has won the overall. Sadly Plasderw Richie aka Ricky, the little grey pony who she won the majority of her trophies on, passed away a couple of weeks before the presentation evening. Ricky had led a full life on the local circuit for many years and was always full of

life and energy, having taught many of the family to ride, so there were tears all round when the championship was announced.
Normally to win overall you need to do a vast array of classes, this year wasn’t the case, as Karen Shutler with Just Jake won 3 Jumping classes overall and a games class, gaining almost maximum points for those classes. Karen featured in our Interclub Games Team in September. Jake, a 16.1hh Sport Horse, was bought as a youngster by Karen, who very nearly gave up on his naughtiness as a youngster, but they have overcome all of that now and he has turned into a super horse, who turns his hoof to most things, and provides entertainment in a show jumping ring providing super speedy times over the most challenging of courses.
Well done to all winners this year and we welcome members new and old to the shows in 2012, there will be some slight changes made to the schedule for 2012, but our show dates can be seen in Equestrian Life’s diary dates and on the Club’s website and this will be updated with any new information
