Cwm Sirhywi Ride 28th and 29th May 2016
A big “thank you” again to all our helpers who made this ride a success
The 4x4 Responders (Wales) provided Radio cover, covered the Check Points, managed that horrid road crossing, sloshed horses, went to pick up a shoe-less horse…..and kept smiling.. This time no injuries to treat or lorries to pull out (How on earth did we ever manage without them..)
We had “old ” helpers - Meg and Anita as ever - Sheila and John (again - how would we manage with out them…).
We had our “new” helpers - Vicky and her gang from Swansea, Nesta and her gang….(particular personal thanks for Hannah and Becca riding my ponies on Saturday )- my own little gang - Joy, Maggie, Stacey, Karen and Brian for turning out 3 weeks after their first ride experience.
Vets - Moira and Jenny, Kevin my farrier.
Kathy for doing endless food and drink runs to keep helpers topped up ….
Heather and Caroline for turning up and being delegated with a range of different tasks - and also nice to have a chat and catch up.
Plas Equestrian for bringing us some “shopping” !
Sue Lees and Gill for their TSing with a smile…
Sue Box for doing the boring bit I hate (Entries and Money) and Celia and Gill for the Saturday food, lots of admin - laminates etc.
All the Riders who were pleasant and courteous and gave nice feedback.
I take full credit for organising the weather! ….and a big thanks to Bruce Springsteen for letting enough of his energy rub off on me to keep me going!
I do hope I haven’t left anyone out!
