POTENTIAL HORSE THIEVES?
This message is been sent around by Derbyshire Horsewatch but is a
warning to all horse owners in the East Midlands.
There have been 3 sightings of 2 suspicious men with Eastern European
accents photographing local horses. They feel this could be a steal
to order gang. The men have been seen at shows / events and even in
a horse owner's field taking pictures.
They have been seen in a white van and a red Land Cruiser. Police
are treating this as suspicious, so please contact them urgently if
you see anything. |

Error on Voting Paper for
Election to Trustees
"There is an error on the Voting Paper included within
the Annual Report and Accounts, which accompanied the latest edition
of British Horse. In it our Regional Safety Officer in the North,
David Roy KERRY, is shown as David Roy KELLY. Whereas I am sure all
David's friends and contacts within the BHS would spot the error from
the very first sentence of the accompanying biographical note, I would
be grateful if you would bring this error to the attention of members
with whom you come into contact." Graham M Cory

The Ride
Riders gather and park in a specially allocated area of Burghley Park
and are marshaled on the ride circuit in groups for the 10 –
12Km ride. The tracks take riders onto the cross country course which,
just the day before, hosted some of the best eventers in the world
in an international four star eventing competition. Riders can walk
or trot around the fences and enjoy the experience of seeing the massive
fences first hand from the back of their own horses! The ride then
directs riders around the park on tracks not normally open to riders
and also takes in a second section of the course. Those wishing to
take part in ‘their Burghley’ have to pre register with
the organizers who then send out sponsor forms and joining instructions
plus free car parking two weeks beforehand. Anyone wishing to make
the best of their visit can then pay the pedestrian entrance gate
fee to browse the legendary 400+ trade stand tented city and enjoy
the final show jumping phase of the event. |
