RDA
SOUTH EAST REGION SANDS FARM, WARNHAM, WEST SUSSEX, RH12 3SQ THURSDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER 2009 Results of the Indoor Driving Competition Novice (PDF) Results of the Indoor Driving Competition Open (PDF) The RDA's South East Region driving groups recently got together to compete at their Annual Indoor Driving Competition at Sands Farm, Warnham. Over twenty drivers from groups in Kent, Surrey and Sussex, spent the morning session competing in dressage and cones classes before taking on the sometimes fast and furious obstacles in the afternoon. The drivers, in both Novice and Open classes, were thoroughly put to the test, but everyone put on an excellent show. All the volunteers had produced excellent turn outs which were a testament to their hard work. This year's winners were Jamie Williams for Kipling County Group, who won the Open Class, and Greg Cooper of Herons Ghyll Group, winner of the Novice. David Cowan and Jane Bowden of the event's sponsors, Cowan Architects based in East Grinstead, came along to present rosettes and trophies to the well deserving winners.

EAST REGIONAL DRESSAGE kindly sponsored by Cowan Architects HICKSTEAD RDA DRESSAGE Thursday 4th June 2009VOLUNTEERS SEE THEIR RIDER'S SHINE RIDING FOR THE DISABLED SOUTH EAST REGION DRESSAGE AT HICKSTEAD 4 JUNE 2009 What a great day of sunshine and smiles for all who turned out for the Annual South East Regional Dressage Competition at Hickstead. In this, National Volunteers Week, it was particularly exciting for the RDA volunteers from across Surrey, Kent and Sussex to watch riders from their home groups, having a wonderful time demonstrating their skills. Competitors of all abilities representing ten groups from around the Region came together to show how much they are able to achieve. Classes varied from those where more assistance was needed, to the qualifying events for the RDA National Championships that are held at Hartpury, Gloucestershire in July. This year twelve riders reached the required score to go to the Championships, with the highest result being achieved by Jonathan Gale of Epsom Group who was presented with a Tankard Trophy by Jane Bowden of Cowan Architects of East Grinstead, who sponsored the event. For a large
percentage of the competitors, it was the first time they had competed
at such an event, but like pros, nothing seemed to faze them. The riders
were all turned out resplendently by their teams of volunteers, and
the horses looked immaculate under the wonderful sunshine. With picnics
eaten, and rosettes and trophies to go home with, the riders certainly
seemed to have enjoyed their day. Results of Hickstead RDA Dressage 4th June 2009
