February was a stormy month! Sadly we had to close for the day on Sunday 9th Feb due to Storm Ciara. This was very unusual for us as we have our lovely indoor school but conditions were just too fierce that day.

We kicked off our 2020 dressage competitions on 16th/17th February. Storm Dennis resulted in low entries for the Sunday but we were lucky to have a lovely day on the Monday so it was great to see our competitors and their horses back competing again.

Lots of fun was had by riders coming and taking part in our half term holiday special activities. The Witham Villa Holiday Dressage League is now very popular and special congratulations to all the competitors that day who braved the rain with smiley faces.

The BHS Riding Schools Competition Regional Final was held here on the Friday of half term resulting in qualification for a number of our riders for the National Final due to be held in the Easter holidays.

Congratulations to:-

12 & Under - Bella

13-17 - Connie, Maddie and Zara, Hannah

18+ - Kay, Ellie and Hannah

We hosted a BHS Safeguarding Course here ensuring all our staff are compliant with regulations.

Witham Villa Pony Club sent a team to the Pony Club Area 7 National Quiz Qualifier at Cannock and they finished in 3rd place. Congratulations to Ava, Bella, Molly and Leila and a huge thank you to Amelia Morris-Payne for training them.
