Responsibility and Cost Sharing
News on the horse sectors campaign against the proposals for Responsibility and Cost Sharing
The Government intends - in a proposal that wasn't contained in the 2005 Labour Manifesto - to ensure that anyone who owns a horse in this country will have to pay a levy of £10.50 per horse owned in order to cover the cost of (a) preventing/ dealing with future animal disease outbreaks plus (b) a new ‘quango' as a new form of bureaucracy and administration that neither the public in general nor the millions of horse owners in the country have called for. It's not fair and nor will it work.

Computer Scoring
We are now a little further down the road of obtaining a computer scoring system for our events which will hopefully streamline proceedings in the not-too-distant future. To this end, Barry Hilditch is organising a training session in the new year with Ray Bragg, who is an expert in this field! Places are limited so, if you are able and willing to offer your services as a scorer at one or more events next year, please get in touch with Barry (01924 848951) to book a place. Candidates must be familiar with Microsoft Excel.

most of
our events this season.
He’s taken some fantastic photos and you can check out his website to have a look. I hope as many of you as possible are able to support him.
Also there are photographs on the site by Mavora Photography who have been to all the competitions.
