A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their Sunday to come to our painting party. Thanks to Crown Paints UK and some hard work from our wonderful painting crew, Frankie and April's stables are looking s***k and span. We still have more painting to do before winter sets in so watch this space...

Lots of smiles this morning when a participant gained their first rosette, riding registered Highland Pony Glenmuir Lorna Doone .
They couldn’t have done it without being ably assisted by one of our essential young volunteers 🥰

Awards and Nominations 🎉🎉🎉
Firstly, congratulations to our amazing volunteer, Nick, who recently attended an afternoon tea where he received a Community Hero award from Charnwood council. He really is a WENLO hero, who goes above and beyond to help out in SO many ways at the stables.
In addition, congratulations to our gorgeous April and Rocky who have been nominated for ‘RDA Pony of the Year’ - both nominations very richly deserved 🥰🥰

Wow! What can we say? A massive WELL DONE to all Team Wenlo at RDA National Championships at Hartpury - and a huge THANK YOU to everyone involved, whether as volunteers, grooms, supporters, holding the fort back at home...the list goes on and on. And of course our amazing Coach, Dawn Whitmore-Kirby ‐ who has put more than just her heart and soul into making it all happen, not least sorting out the logistics of getting five equines, a carriage and all the necessary equipment and other paraphernalia to and from Gloucestershire.

Look out for more updates and photos over the next few days to see how we got on at Nationals.

In the meantime, here's Rocky enjoying being back in his own stable after he got back from Hartpury.

We'd like to join our mascot Dalmore in wishing all the very best to Team Wenlo and everyone involved in the RDA National Championships, which start tomorrow. We are so proud of you all, and so very grateful to all those who work so hard to make this happen, including the volunteers who have put in many long hours already with more to come over the next few days. And of course our equine superstars 🐴🐴🐴

Safe travels to Hartpury everyone, stay cool, keep hydrated and enjoy yourselves - it's what you CAN do that counts!

Countryside Challenge and Dressage Qualifiers
For the last two Mondays, many of our riders have been competing to qualify for the RDA National Championships in July.
Riders, horses and ponies gave of their very best and can be very proud of themselves. Thank you to the many volunteers involved, from those who bathed horses and cleaned tack to those who accompanied the horses on the day and enabled the riders to compete.
Well done to all of the competitors, you did WENLO proud ☺️

Big smiles from Elsie this week - she really enjoyed her first ride on Dawn’s new highland pony, Frances of D***s.

Well done to the Wenlo riders who took part in our first competition of the year today at Scropton Horse Centre. Our fantastic horses Polly, George and Rocky were superstars - special mention to Polly and George as it was the first time they have been to a competition with Wenlo RDA. George won his Working Trails class with a fantastic 92%!

As always, this wouldn't be possible without the Wenlo volunteers and the parents of our riders who gave up their time today and also who worked hard preparing for the competition.

We are so proud of you all. 👏 🏆🐴

Thanks to North Midlands RDA publicity officer Matt Dalley who took these photographs🙏. And to Scropton Horse Centre for organising the competition 🙏.
