Pleasure Horse Nationals
Tielcey Park’s goal is to run a super duper show for true pleasure horses and ponies, so that everybody attending has a great day out and enjoys their horses and ponies. That is after all why we ride… for pleasure! This show has been organised for fun. Our aim is for everybody to take home lots of ribbons - we will guarantee everyone will go home with at least four ribbons. If you do not win four ribbons please come to the office after the show for your choice of ribbons.

As of this morning, we have 51 entries in the show – well done everyone! We have a few important notices to bring to your attention:
Rings
We don’t have as many entries in the 10 and under and 11-16 age-groups as we expected. So we have made some changes as follows:
Barefoot Title
We have a new title – Best Barefoot horse. There is no charge to enter this class – and the winner will receive a sash and a trophy. If your horse is barefoot, please let me know so that I can enter you.
Fancy Dress
We have only five entries for this very exciting class – come on people, we can do better than this! Everyone who enters gets a professional photo emailed to them by Story Time photography. More adults need to enter (we already have a few – let’s get more).
Teams
We have four teams entered so far – winners get medals and sashes plus trophies to keep!
As we would like to give more people the chance to form teams – we are removing the restriction of having a child under 12. If you have entered already with a child, that is your team! But if not, please let me know if you would like to be part of a team, or could form your own team now. An email is fine.
Remember, you need three or four people to form a team– the top three cumulative scores count!
Late Entries
Yes I am accepting late entries up until Friday 29th January – so let your friends know that they can fax (06 353 3536) or email them to me, and then follow up by posting the entry form and cheque, or just depositing the money into our bank account (number on the Entry Form).
If you have entered the show already and on the day would like to enter additional classes, or change classes, you can do this for the normal entry fee (if applicable). But only if you’ve entered your horse by Friday 29th January.
As always – if you have any questions, please feel to email or phone Margo (06 353 3533 or 021 741 772)

Wonderful to see the programme for the Pleasure compeition in Feb. Cant wait! Glad to see it is true pleasure- no plaiting or jackets. Have been to a couple of ribbon days where the rules havent been followed and alot are not true pleasure horses. Hope you will stick to the rules on the day. Keep up the good work. I'll be there! " Nicola Smyth Riding for pleasure and fun - at last! I love it - congratulations ! - Phyll
"What a delightful idea - I've sent this on to our Hutt Valley PC members. Well done." - Carla "I just want to say - AWESOME IDEA on the pleasure horse show - wow how much fun that would be - I have a lovely horse but I have been laughed out of so many A & P shows because he is ever so slightly pigeon toed and dishes a bit, even though his manners and behaviour out shine the rest of the horses there! It would be so nice to come to a show where he may stand a chance of a ribbon or at least not to be looked at in horror because he isn't totally perfectly conformed! However sadly I am too far away. But I just wanted to say what a fabulous idea and I wish there were more shows out there like this - because even the "adult riding club fun gymkhanas" up here are like mini A & P shows with all of the top wigs coming out with their horses for exposure - and of course just like at the A & P shows they win every single class and leave us people who go to them for fun out in the cold and not having fun! I even had a judge once say to me in front of the rest of the competitors after our workouts - "your horse deserves to win - excellent controlled workout - but I like the other horse better"! the other horse couldn't trot and lost control but still won - go figure! :( I can't wait to see the coverage of your show - and if I could afford to I would love to sponsor a class - so maybe in the new year if I have recouped some xmas spending I can sponsor even one class for you guys :)
Kind regards" Fantastic idea Margo, I am drumming up interest amongst our barefoot hacking club here in Waikanae and we will be sending in our entries as soon as possible. Looking forward to the 7th Feb! Lisa Wilkinson
