WBRC Royal Windsor Show Qualifier 28th Feb
Wokingham and Bearwood Riding Club Qualifier for Royal Windsor Horse Show Cancelled Due to bad Weather

FOH 25th April - Rosehill

Some of you may have expressed an interest in doing this competition, however I am looking for definate committment that you would like to represent the club. If you qualify, you should be available for the Championships on 5th June at Aston-Le-Walls. This is a really fun event and I welcome all that would like to participate.
 
We need juniors and seniors to jump novice and open - novice is upto 2'9 and open upto 3'3.
 
You will be required to jump 1 round of SJ and then straight onto the XC.
 
The cost is £23 per horse and this is inclusive of medical cover. If you are interested or know of anyone that might be, then please let me know ASAP and send me a cheque for the above amount made payable to WBRC and send it to 5 Sandy Lane, Wokingham, RG41 4DD
 
I will be organising XC schooling - the first confirmed date is 18th April at Snowball - this is a great opportunity to school here if you intend to compete at Area HT. I will confirm costs etc nearer to the time. I will also aim to get something organised for Rosehill but this would have to be before 25th March and I am conscious that time is running away from us!

STOLEN HORSE
Please can everyone be on the lookout for a 15.3hh Fresian x Cob, 12 years gelding, trace clip currently, taken without consent. May be very distressed as he recently lost his companion and has now been removed from everything he knew. Cannot give full details due to legal case continuing but if you know of his whereabouts (JACOB) please PM me!! Taken today at 15.30pm ish by Red discovery and trailer.

Whoever has him on their field/land will more than likely not be aware of the circumstances that surround his removal.

He has been taken with day rug and has not got any of his normal heavier rugs with him, owner is very worried about his welfare and well being and obviously very distressed.

If you spot a big black fresian x cob popping up in your area please let me know!!! 

He was stolen yesterday from Goring Heath.

Thousands of pounds worth of suspected stolen horse tack has now been seized (saddles / bridles / rugs etc etc).
