A cold snowy night for the
second annual Horse Haven
Riding School Awards and our
Show Jumping 2ft 6" (Clear
Round Timed Event) which
took place after the prizes
had been awarded.
In both Senior and Junior
Rider of the Year categories
it was a tie. We therefore
had to go back through the
complete year's nominations
from the instructor's
personal nominations and
tallying up their
nominations to see who
finally won the trophies -
well done to the winners
Cheryl Gilbert and Emma
Carson. Runners up were
Jane Meeney and Kathleen
Ennis.
The Stable Management Award
was won this year by Louise
Yau for the exceptional
skills of advancement to win
this section.
The Inter Schools Challenge
Shield was won by Cara James
from St Barbara's Primary
School. Well done for your
valiant win. On a point of
note; this is the 2nd year
running St Barbara's Primary
School has won this award.
Kiera Cameron from
Bargeddie Primary came a
very close second. Both of
these riders were the
fastest winners of the
heats.
Finally the Horse Haven
Advanced Horsemanship Award
was won by Nicole
Robinson who has advanced
herself tremendously this
year out competing and doing
well at these external
events, though also rising
to the challenge of winning
many internal events along
with training young stock
and remedial training for
ponies. The complete set of
nominations from all the
instructors for this award
sealed the deal.
A hearty well done to
everyone that achieved a
prize, it is a magnificent
achievement to win one of
these trophies.
The
Show Jumping 2ft 6" (Clear
Round Timed Event) was very
well attended and the fierce
competitiveness to gain the
fastest clear round time was
absolutely brilliant by all
the competitors involved.
The timed results are below
the pictures of the prize
winners. Well
done to all that took place
on the night. |

Insect spray is really

Finally a note for all the
mums, dads and grown ups
that come along with you or
come for lessons
themselves. We have
recently found cigarette
ends from people having a
quick smoke next to the
Indoor school, Horse Barn
and car park. This can be
extremely dangerous and a
huge fire risk.
Please ask adults to smoke
in the designated areas that
Horse Haven have provided.
To remind you, they are
beside the Horse Haven
Office for customers and at
the main toilet block for
staff. Horse Haven would
also like to remind you that
this is a sports facility
and clarify that the car
park is a NON SMOKING
AREA. Please refrain from
smoking in this area. If
you see anyone continuing to
smoke in this area please
inform a member of staff so
that they can ask the person
to smoke in the areas
provided. Those found to be
smoking out with the
designated smoking areas
will be asked to immediately
leave the facilities We
ask that you all please help
us keep Horse Haven safe,
thank you. |

Welcome to Horse Haven's
New Instructor - Julie
Carscadden BHSAI
Hello to Everyone.
My name is Julie and
I'll be joining the Horse
Haven Team in July as an
instructor so I thought I'd
say 'hi' and introduce
myself.
I'm originally from Fife and
have been riding since I was
12 - a long time ago - but
in 1996 I moved down to
Gloucestershire where I
became much more serious
about my riding and bought
two horses, Tivvi and Be,
basing myself at a top
eventing yard where I
started to compete
successfully at both
eventing and BSJA show
jumping and also started to
complete my British Horse
Society exams.
In 2001, I moved to Saudi
Arabia, a big change, and
while there was asked
to instruct in a large
Equestrian Centre. This was
great fun, riding in the
desert is amazing, but most
importantly I met a lot of
people who were really
passionate about learning to
ride and improving their
horse knowledge and I
discovered that I loved
teaching so I continued to
learn myself and completed
the BHSAI exams in 2005.
Along side training for
the teaching exams I also
became a certified Equine
Body Worker (EBW), this
means that I am qualified to
give horses a sports therapy
massage. Sports massage can
help prevent injuries,
improves suppleness and
flexibility and assists with
post-competition recovery,
all the things we look for
to help our horses feel
better.
Currently, I am studying for
my BSc in Equine Science as
I believe that you never
stop learning new things
about horses and I'm looking
forward to meeting you all
at Horse Haven and helping
you to learn new things too.
Private (1 - 2 people,
individuals) and Group
Lessons with Julie are to be
booked as normal via the
booking line. Those
looking for help with their
horses and requiring Julies
expertise in EBW, please
contact the booking line
leaving a precise message
with the problem (including
a contact number) and an
arranged date and time will
be allocated to you.
Company Terms and Conditions
Apply. Company Policies
Apply. Errors & omissions
excepted.
As time progresses we will
be making available more
specialised courses for
those wishing advancement.
Contact the booking line for
more information. |
