What a fabulous day we had at the Royal Three Counties Show Pony Club Team Show Jumping yesterday where  we were delighted to have two cracking teams proudly representing OBH in the 80cm and 90cm classes.🤩
In the 80cm team, Evie, Eliza and Nancy secured a fantastic 7th place and  in the 90cm, Nell, Issy and Isla rode brilliantly to finish 11th.👏💫
We are incredibly proud of all the riders – for their riding, teamwork, and the way they supported each other and turned out their ponies.  Congratulations to Eliza, who was awarded one of only a handful of Good Horsemanship Awards for outstanding horsemanship, exceptional care and respect for the horse, and a clear commitment to putting welfare, patience and partnership first. A wonderful achievement. 🌟
A huge thank you to Fi Dowding for course walking and providing support, advice and encouragement to riders (and parents!) throughout the day, and to everyone who came along to support the teams.
It was a huge atmosphere with crowds, fairground, parachute jumpers and plenty of noise, but every rider and pony stepped up to the challenge and coped amazingly and handled it all with confidence and determination. So excited for the Summer Team Competitions ahead ✨
Being part of an OBH team is great fun and a chance to learn so much, build confidence, support each other and have a fantastic day out with friends. If you’d like to get involved or come along to support, we’d love to hear from you!

🏇Ridgeway Camp ‘26 ⛺️

☀️ 20 Old Berks children set out for a magical adventure… girths tightened and suncream on, off into the meadows of Stainswick in the glorious sunshine…
Over the 2 days we had…
150 legs
2 wheels
96 hooves
4 paws
7 hours riding
32 km
10 tents
Sweets consumed- don’t ask!!!

Robin manned the barbecue and Angela worked her magic with fun and games in the afternoon heat of day one. After a delicious supper and toasted marshmallows at sunset the campsite quietened down under the glowing moon and stars…giggles and pony stories could be heard late into the night!

Bright and early and well nourished the team set off again, in great spirits and all excited for the best day’s ride plus amazing spin up the beautiful grass gallops, arriving back to camp with new friends and lots of memories made.

Thank you to the incredible team who made this happen - Robin, Laura, Super Sue & Clare, the parents supporters on horseback and foot and Angela for crazy games. Pony Club is the BEST ✨

What a brilliant day we had yesterday Show Jumping at the Area 9 Spring Show at Rectory Farm! ☀️

It was definitely a hot one, but that didn’t stop everyone enjoying a really busy day with some fabulous riding, lovely ponies, and fantastic results. Everyone looked so smart and beautifully turned out, and the atmosphere all day was wonderful — so much encouragement, support, and team spirit from everyone involved. Congratulations to Freya who won the 70cm class!🏆

A huge thank you to the whole Area 9 team for putting on such a lovely show, and special thanks to Helen K for her amazing cakes which went down very well indeed! 🍰 As always, massive thanks also go to our brilliant parents for all the early starts, running around, support, and endless help throughout the day.

Most importantly, well done and congratulations to every single member who took part — you should all be very proud of yourselves! 👏
