Message from Sevenoaks Riding Club bridleways officer.

Call for help from riders of more senior years!

I am seeking evidence to apply for a Definitive Map Modification Order for footpaths 115 and 116, hoping to upgrade these to bridleways. Path 115 runs from Godden Green, near the Bucks Head Inn, roughly NE to Hall Place, on the Stone Street road. Path 116 continues this line up to Seal Chart common. I believe that path 115 was ridden regularly up till around 1970, when a stile was erected on it. I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who has ridden these paths in the past, especially prior to 1970, and also from anyone who knows of someone who might have done so.

We had 3 teams representing Sevenoaks Riding Club at Felbridge for the Combined Training qualifier. The junior team of Neve Gregory, Sophie Hollands and Evie Kerry came 3rd. Neve came 3rd individually, Evie 4th and Sophie 6th and just missed out on qualifying for Aston Le Walls

​The senior teams also had a great weekend but just missed out on qualifying as well. The Sevenoaks B team of Emma Whittington, Marni Bassi and Charlotte Payne came 4th and the Sevenoaks A team of Liz Finlason, Janet Phillips, Emma Whittington and Sarah Crookenden came 5th. Emma Whittington came 2nd on both Nemo and Twilight Affair and has qualified individually. Marni and Janet both produced fabulous tests and also got placed.

​Well done to all members of the team and thank you for everyone that helped on the day #SRC

The Bottle House Inn will be sponsoring the Sevenoaks Riding Club Annual Show again in 2019. The Annual Show will take place earlier in the riding club calendar on the 9th June to incorporate the Sunshine Tour qualifiers for a number of showing and showjumping classes. The top 4 of each showing and jumping qualifying class will qualify for the championships that take place at The All England Jumping Course, Hickstead from Thursday 12th - Sunday 15th September 2019. 

The Bottle House Inn is owned by Mike Aiken who is an active member of the riding club. The Bottle House Inn is located in the beautiful Kent countryside about a mile from the centre of Penshurst village. It is a traditional country pub serving a comprehensive range of local ales, fine wines and an extensive menu focusing on local & seasonal produce. To find out more information please visit their website - www.thebottlehouseinnpenshurst.co.uk

The Sevenoaks senior team got some great results to finish 2nd as a team at the Intermediate Dressage qualifier just 1 point behind team winners Battle. Georgie Siggers won the Prelim 13 section with a score of 71.92% to qualify individually, Caroline Sheridan came 2nd in the Novice 28 with 70%, Emma Whittington came 6th with 64.76% in the Novice 34 and Jenny Smith finished 7th with 64.69 in the Elementary section. Rosie Sharpe was our only junior member representing Sevenoaks and finished on a fab score of 66.53% to take 2nd place in the Prelim 13 #SRC 

Congratulations to the junior team of Katie Clyne, Evie Kerry and Tillie Woods who had a great weekend at Aston Le Walls for the Junior 80cm Arena Eventing Championships. The team finished 11th and unfortunately just outside of the rosettes due to some fast clear rounds that were slightly over the optimum time! Katie Clyne finished with just 6 time faults to finish 11th individually and sadly just outside of the placings.

Arena Eventing is a new championship for 2019 and combines a course of show jumps with cross country fences at heights of 70cm - 110 cm for junior and senior riding club members. The last fence of the course consists of a joker fence that is set 10cm higher than the rest of the course. If you are interested in taking part next year look out for the qualifier in the late Autumn #SRC
