Well surprise surprise, another show day dawned and yet again we were met with grey skies but we at Banwell Equestrian Centre are hardened to the weather and are firm beleivers in the motto 'the show will go on'!  Would be nice to run one show where the sun does actually shine though!

Despite the weather, we had a good turnout for all the classes.  We are getting some regular attendees to our events and our thanks go to these supporters.  We try to keep all our events professional but friendly and this seems to come across from the comments we receive.  I think mum's homemade cakes definitely help with this!

Thanks again to all our helpers and judges, family and friends who all pitched in to make the show run so well. Same again next year!

Yet another successful show - the rain stayed away although the grey clouds did persist in hanging around!  The showing classes were very popular this year with still a good turnout for the dressage and show jumping classes.  Everyone made a fantastic effort in making themselves and horses look very smart. 

Big thanks to all those that helped, to next door for letting us use their 'patch', to family and friends who all pitched in and thanks to all the judges and their helpers. 

NRH Photography covered the show this year, they took some fantastic shots and we hope they'll return next year.  If you wish to purchase a photo, please log on to www.nrhphotography.co.uk for details.

Hope everyone will come back again next year!  All will go quiet from us for a little while as I will be having my baby girl in August.  Keep an eye out on the website in the new year for new events.

Why is it that after 2 weeks of gorgeous sunshine, soon as we put on an event we get rain and tempests???  However, the show went on and everyone turned up despite the weather.  We relaxed a bit on the posh clothing so people didn't have to get too wet.  Everyone did really well considering the wind getting up the horses tails causing disruption to some! 

Everyone had a good experience with everyone encouraging everyone else.  Thanks to those that came and supported the riders too, always good to see you.

Big thanks to Celia Lewis for giving up her time to judge and to Sarah Davies again for writing, I hope mums carrot cake will encourage you to do the same again!

Thanks to mum for her cooking skills supplying us with tea and coffee, homemade cakes and wraps and for all her hard work in the background - couldn't do without you mum!

Our next event will be the summer show on 18 July - look out for schedules in the local tack and feed shops.  Details will also be on our website - lets hope we get some good weather this year!
