Area 29 AGM - Leading Rider Awards 2009
The AGM was held on November 11th and included the prize giving for the Leading Rider Awards. We had lots more printouts submitted this year for the various categories and the results ended a very close call in some sections so don't lose heart if you missed out this year, keep those results coming in for 2010!

Report from Emma Lacey on Junior Academy:
Dear All
I hope you and your horses are well. We will shortly be commencing the winter training sessions at Topthorn EC, the first date will be 3rd November commencing at 5pm with another session starting at 6pm. I hope to have groups of a maximum of four and will divide you appropriately with consideration to your age/experience and your pony's experience. please book in with jannette Turner and also let us know if you cannot make the early session. Ideally I will be running the younger riders/less experienced ponies at 5pm and the more established at 6pm. The cost of the sessions will be as last year, £20 per person. I may also run the 'Pony Proficiency Award' in a classroom style session either after the ridden training or in a separate session. Please also let Jannette know if you would like to take part and I will then arrange a session.
Hope to see you all soon
Emma

Next on the agenda was the National Area Team Championship Qualifier at the Regional show at Towerlands Park on 18th July which included a junior team jumping competition for members of Junior Academies.
Suffolk fielded 2 junior teams: Harriet Leader-White, Lydia Few, Jake Andrews and Rosie Munson N Sharpe, Georgia Leader-White, Emily Robinson and Zac Thorne Both teams did well, finishing in 3rd and 4th places respectively.
We also put 2 Senior teams forward for the qualifier with 2 places in for the finals at stake...
Suffolk Saints Suffolk Sorcerers Chloe Winchester - Zeta Tetti Zac Thorne Helen Stewart - Lars Night Leigh Isaac - Meinlass Camille Hannah Sonnex - Goodtimes Mission to Mars Annabelle Block - It's Just Because Colin Keeling - Won't Forget Me Emily Phizacklea - Tops Lotto
We are pleased to say that for the 2nd year running, the Suffolk Saints won! All combinations jumped double clear which forced a jump off against Northampton who were the only other team to finish on a zero score.
The Suffolk Sorcerers all jumped well, gaining valuable experience in team competition and it was very nice to see all our riders supporting each other.
Colin went first in the jump off with 4 faults in a fast time so it the pressure was on but when the Northants rider had an unfortunate stop at the first fence, Suffolk had won! The finals are held at BSJA/Scope Festival this year on Sat 5th Sept so if any Suffolk supporters are there, please come along & cheer for your team!
