Congratulations to all those who passed their D+ test at this rally! I think the 100 per cent pass rate was a record! Thanks to all the instructors, and especially Ria and Frances Murray, who made even the testing fun! See Results HORSE AND PONY CARE The teams did really well at the H&P Care Area Competition.

Well done to all the CHPC members who competed - we were proud of you. Many thanks to all who assisted with stewarding, writing and scoring. Thank you too to Pauline Coster, our Area Representative, who presided over the day with flair and calm experience. And of course thank you to Malcolm Buckingham and Lordsbridge for having us.

February Half Term Flying Cats, Eventing, Pancakes and Road Safety, Badges, Tests, Mounted Games! Phew! What a half term! Rallies took place in the pouring rain, freezing cold and snow, but no one cared! Lots of members took tests and won badges, we had eventing with Val Gingell, course walks with successful local event rider Phoebe Buckley, games, unmounted study while the DC and Rally Organiser sweated over a hot stove (120 + pancakes were consumed!) and more! On the only free day in the week, showjumping training was crammed in. Back to school for a rest, before the Easter holidays - when we have more exciting events planned - not least our branch Combined Training Competition at Harlton! Red Rosettes on Valentine's Day for Junior Girls Junior Girls Tetrathlon Team make a great start to the season at Oakham! The Cambridgeshire Hunt Branch was represented at the Cottesmore Triathlon on January 24th, by Rebecca Page, Emily Proctor and Hattie Algar. The whole team were on good form and came 4th out of eight teams, against some very experienced Area 6 competitors. Hattie achieved the best run and finished overall in 2nd place. 2009 Prince Philip Cup - Horse of the Year Show FINAL RESULT - 4TH!!!

Our series of Dressage Competitions culminated in the Winter League Final, held again at Lordsbridge on Saturday 3 April. Georgie Horrell again pulled off a magnificent feat of organisation - and, although she will shortly hand over the dressage reins to Tracyann Neville and Maley Lloyd, she will still be very much in the background helping them! Thank you, Georgie, and congratulations to all who competed, not just those who won rosettes and Easter eggs! Full results will be posted shortly.
O
ur branch fielded two teams for the Area Quiz qualifiers - and we also hosted one of the Area Quiz heats at Comberton Village Hall! One of our teams was placed 3rd, and the other 5th, so we don't go forward to the final this time - but it was a good practice for next year, and a good time was had by all! Many thanks to Sarah Algar, Lorna Wing, and all their helpers for a wonderfully organised event, and good refreshments - and especial thanks to Ali Schwabe, our Question Master, who made it all such fun! And well done, and well tried, to the teams!
