Equestrian Carol had to ride ‘on


the hoof’ at show Crowd greeted popular rider with a football-style chant


GISBURN-BASED eq u e s tr ian Miss Carol Richardson was literally riding "on the hoof" when she competed in the recent International


Show Jumping Show in Damascus. Miss Richardson, who Grand Prix won by Saudi


was the only British rider to take up the invi­ tation to compete in the event, was accompanied in Syria by her partner and trainer, Mr N ick Saville. The local horsewoman


had arrived at the show with just 24 hours to pre­ pare herself and the horse, which had been provided by her hosts, as she had been forced to wait for four hours at Damascus airport. The delay was because there had been no visas waiting for her. During the competition, Miss Richardson and her

combination had only four faults in each event, but on the final day she rode a fast, clear round to finish fifth in the supporting class to the


Arabia. Although she was offered the chance to take part in the Grand Prix on a horse belonging to the Jor­ danians, the organisers were reluctant to let her ride. Miss Richardson's suc­


cess in the show made her a favourite with the crowd, which greeted her entry into the ring with a foot- ball-style chant. She also became something of a national celebrity on Syrian television. At the awards dinner, she


was given invitations to take part in many future shows in the Middle East and contracts for her and Mr Saville to take on train­ ing, both at their Panama Sports Horses stable in Gis- burn and in the Middle


East. • Just before taking part


in the Syrian event, Miss Richardson had taken part


in a premier show at Gle- neagles where she qualified Ludicrous for the National Grade C final at Hickstead, and enjoyed many other top placings with her team.


Working out helps sick children


A GROUP of members of Hicks Health and Rackets Club, Clitheroe, worked out for 24 hours to help


sick children. Many others, ranging in


age from three to 74, spent as much time as they could spare at the marathon. The total raised will be about £ 2,000. The money is going to


"Step Out for Starlight," which funds special holi­ days for sick children. The club, and many like it, sup­ ports the charity every


year. The club's nine instruc­


tors led the efforts and our picture shows Kim Salis­ bury taking her turn with the enthusiasts. (090400/8/16)

that the same thing will happen next year,” he said. He said that the group


had set up an “And Count­ ing” programme which would not stop until it had achieved its goal of a new


school. County Coun. George


Slynn said it was sometimes necessary to “have the pain


before the pleasure.” He went on: “We may


have schools in the wrong place when it comes to deal­ ing with population growth. Developers get permission for housing and we have then to take on the educa­ tional issues. They want to develop virgin land and we as the education authority have to face up to the prob­ lems. “I think these people are


going into a cul-de-sac and asking us to come up with a solution through the fast- track mechanism.”
