Broad Town Church of England Primary School

Congratulations to our dressage team of Henry, Emily, Ruby, Kacey and Ewan who came 5^th in the Dressage Anywhere Winter/Spring Team Challenge 2022. 17 teams took part in the competition which ran from January to June. The children did a dressage test each month and gained points for the team. Once again, our team was the only one which consisted solely of junior riders (under 16). We are extremely proud of them. Many of the children achieved personal best scores during this competition and Henry has moved up to prelim level. On the last day of term, the children were presented with their well-deserved trophies. Well done team!

Thank you to all of the parents for supporting the children with their riding and thank you to the staff at Ashdown Riding Centre for all of your help and encouragement.

What a year! It was lovely to see new members join us and 'old' members getting better and better each month. This year, our team was 10th overall in the national Dressage Anywhere competition. This is an incredible achievement and we are so proud of everyone from Broad Town School who took part. 

On 14th January 2022, we had a special Zoom presentation of our Autumn League results. Terri Hemmings from Hat 2 Hoof Saddlery joined us and very kindly donated vouchers for our prize winners.

Well done everyone!

Thank you to all of the parents for enabling this to happen and standing in the wind/snow/rain/sun/hail etc for many hours each month!

Throughout 2019, members of our school’s riding team took part in the Dressage Anywhere Team Challenge. Each month, their dressage scores earned points for the team and we are delighted to report that our team came 10^th. This is an amazing achievement as there were 32 teams entered and our team was the only one that consisted solely of children.

Our team members were:

Henry

Joshua

Freya

Isabelle

Emily

Ruby

Kacey

Thank you to all of the adults who helped make this possible. Well done to all of the children. We are very proud of you!

Well done to everyone who took part. Some personal bests were achieved and there were lots of lovely comments from the judges. Just a reminder that the summer league will run from May to August.

Lots of fun was had by everyone at our October Rally. The children had a lesson and then we had a gymkhana. The sack race was brilliant!

Many thanks to Pauline Waite for the facilities and lovely prizes, to Mr Ivory for presenting the prizes and letting us come to the farm and to Annette Hance for teaching.

We had a fabulous day at our Easter Rally. Lessons, gymkhana games and an egg hunt in the garden! Thank you to Pauline Waite for the venue and the prizes and to everyone who came and made it a special day.

For the October dressage tests, all of our team wore something pink to raise money for Cancer Research. Ed's pony, Magic, wore a pink hairband!
