Shelley Yearbook The Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding 2013 From the Chairman- December 2012 Dear Supporters, Well, what an amazing year! We started with a drought and ended up with the wettest, coldest summer! We’ve had two events that most of us will never see again in our lifetime – the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and the most awe-inspiring London Olympics and Paralympics. This was followed by Murray winning the tennis, our golfers triumphant at the Ryder Cup, and we’ve had the first ever ‘Brit’ win the Tour de France. Records were being broken here, there and everywhere! Although we’ve been through a recession, these events have uplifted the country - they’ve brought out what puts the ‘Great’ in Great Britain and highlighted what we’re best at. For the Jubilee, it was our skill at pageantry, our military precision and organisational ability, our patriotism and stoicism to our weather! Then with the Olympics and Paralympics the eyes of the world were on us again. You can add to the list our sporting prowess and what our builders, architects, gardeners, directors, dancers, musicians and entertainers had to offer. And didn’t we pull it off!! This spirit has rubbed off for us here at the Shelley Centre, too. Our hard work at raising our profile is paying off with many more people becoming aware of what we do, realizing how valuable it is, and coming on board to support us. We have been overwhelmed at the generosity and support for all of our fund-raising events, and for the enthusiasm of our supporters to put on events themselves to raise money on our behalf. As well as the many individuals (too many to mention here!) we’ve had record amounts raised at the Ball, the Sponsored Ride, and at Stratford Hills Horse Trials. We thank each and every one of these many people (I hope you are all reading this) from the bottom of our hearts because, as I frequently and genuinely say, without this support we would struggle to provide the wonderful therapy of horse-riding to so many. Our last annual census recorded 126 riders having a total of 2,244 rides and drives, with just 93 volunteers doing all the work! We can’t rest on our laurels, however; the fund-raising must continue (a lot like the painting of the Forth Bridge!) as our running costs are over £60,000 a year. As well as the publicity we always need more volunteers (we’re still very short on some days – if anyone is interested in helping for a few hours!). With the whole country wrapped up in such a feel-good and happy atmosphere, the Paralympics seem to have transformed the way people think about the disabled and, just as importantly, the way the disabled think about themselves, about what they can achieve, and what is possible. A fantastic example is Sophie Christiansen who won three more Gold Medals for dressage. She started at a centre like ours and famously says that “Riding didn’t change my life, it gave me a life”. Long may it continue and let us hope we can ride on this wave of positivity to achieve much more for our riders, and for them so see how much they can achieve for themselves. Many thanks for your continued and invaluable support, and I send my best wishes to you all. JAN DERBYSHIRE Chairman Just one sad note – we have recently and unexpectedly lost our wonderful Shannon after eight happy years with us. I would like to pay tribute to her – she will be sorely missed by everyone as she was very special and, like all our horses, was an important part of the Shelley Centre ‘family’. Front Cover- The Shetland Ponies waiting to lead the procession to the Church for the Card Service ♦2 Sponsor a Pony Hi – I’m Charlie, a relatively ‘new kid on the block’, so it’s quite an honour for me to be asked to write about the Sponsor a Pony Scheme. Contributions received to towards feed, shoeing, the dentist and vet, rugs (I’ve already established quite a wardrobe), and bedding for me, Holly, Jet, Parys, Rocky, Fleur, Camilla, and Squidgy (the cute Shetlands who come as a pair in the Scheme). There are three others in the Shelley equine family, but they are not available for sponsorship yet. It’s a great way to help us financially, and we only request a donation of £25 for 12 months’ membership (of course, you could send more if you like!!). Auntie Di, on 01473 658552, will send you a form, and then you will receive a photo of your chosen one, a pony story, and your name will be proudly displayed at the Centre. We help our special riders and carriage drivers so much and…..without boasting…..I’ve heard the humans say that we are special too! Hoping we will hear from you soon! Love, CHARLIE AND THE GANG ♦3 Fundraising It has been another active and successful year of varied fund raising, and our thanks go to all those who work so hard on our behalf, organising and supporting events. Events in 2012 included the Hadleigh Show, Stratford Hills Horse Trials, a sponsored walk and sponsored long-distance Ride, a Bridge Lunch, the Ball at Le Talbooth, a clay pigeon shoot, The Long Distance Ride - The Watering Hole murder-mystery evening, and ‘Mike’s Sing-a-long’. In addition, three Marathon runners ran in aid of the Centre – Adam Bensusan, Steve Horsley and Fabian Wilness. We applaud their efforts and determination, and thank them for their support. The Bridge Lunch took place in a lovely setting, combining a day of challenge and fun. The Ball, held once again at Le Talbooth, proved to be a popular and successful occasion, providing great enjoyment for those who attended. The Long-Distance Ride attracted a good number of entries for what was a beautiful day out riding. Our last main event of the year was the Murder-Mystery evening – a chance for people to pit their wits against each other as they strove to solve the mystery. As always, we extend our grateful thanks to all who support fund raising in any way for the Centre. In particular, we thank the teams who work so hard to put on events and to make them successful. This is a constant, on-going task, and we are grateful for the dedication and hard work of the Fund Raising Committee. PATRICIA BAZLEY WHITE Chairman, Fund Raising Committee The Long Distance Ride “Tally Ho!” ♦4 Bridge Lunch The Ball ♦5 The Shelley Centre’s very own BRONZE AWARD WINNERS! What a year it has been for two of our Wednesday afternoon riders. Rowan and Nathaniel Haste (known affectionately as ‘the Twins’) passed the RDA Bronze Proficiency Test in Horse Care; something we believe is a first at the Shelley Centre. Below is an article, written for the National RDA Newsletter, by their Examiner, Sally Campbell Gray. I was asked to examine Nathaniel and Rowan Haste for the Horse Care section of the Bronze Proficiency Test. Sue Diggins came along as an observer/examiner and we spent a happy and very fruitful afternoon, each of them achieving very The ‘Bronze Twins’ at the Shelley Centre high marks. Nathaniel and Rowan are 15 and have been riding at the Centre for some time. They passed both sections of Grade 4 in 2010. Their Instructor, Anne MacWillson, had taught them well. We were interested in the folders they produced for us to see. They each had a list of the syllabus and, as well as practical help and practice at the Centre, they had researched on the internet all that was required and added their findings to their folders for future reference. These were most impressive and the Education Committee at National has copies of them. We hope to encourage others to do the same. Sally Campbell Gray, RDASI, Proficiency Test Examiner We received these lovely letters from the twins on their last day at the Shelley Centre. Sadly, school work has become a priority and they have been unable to return to their riding, but hopefully they will ride again in the future …. possible Equestrian Paralympians? To read the letters in full, please visit the Shelley website and find them in the ‘Apply to Ride’ section. ♦6 RDA NATIONAL ARTS AND CRAFTS COMPETITION Talented woodcarver David Turner, aged 14, entered an excellent carving of a horse’s head, entitled “My Olympic Gold”, in the RDA National Arts & Crafts Competition. Although not Gold, David did achieve Bronze, and we are all delighted that he won 3rd prize in the competition judged at the National Championships in Hartpury. Well done, David! Devin Cullen also had his picture sent to Hartpury for judging. Two riders from the Monday afternoon group received rosettes for entering their great pictures David Turner and his wood carving and Devin Cullen with his picture Jessica Clarke and Martine Cassidy IN-HOUSE TRAINING DAY Held at the Shelley Centre, November 2012 Training days on many different subjects are organized throughout the Eastern Region and beyond during the year. At the Shelley Centre, we try to have our own training day once a term, as we have so many helpers who may find it difficult to attend those further afield. On our last training day our retired paediatric physiotherapist, Fiona Cranston, talked us through cerebral palsy - well, as much as she could in a short time and without losing us with her medical knowledge! We all benefited immensely from listening to how other instructors and helpers progress and enjoy their lessons; we were able to encourage and enthuse each other with new thoughts and ideas, and a great way to welcome new helpers.

Riders were able to show-off what they have worked towards over the last few years. The first two days of the 2012 Paralympic Equestrian competition consisted of the Team Test where Great Britain dominated four of the five grade levels. Over the last two days during the Para-Dressage Individual Test competition however, individual powerhouses overthrew Great Britain's reign. One of those athletes working towards capturing a medal was Jonathan Wentz (USA) and NTEC Richter Scale, owned by Kai Handt. 1 of 12 9/25/12 2:18 PM Equestrian Jonathan Wentz (USA) Triumphs in Stiff Competitio... https://ui.constantcontact.com/visualeditor/visual_editor_previe...

  • Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2014 in Normandy Left Me Amazed After Watching the Riders at Close Quarters
    LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Inspiration, motivation, passion and perspective. Every day we follow those values with dedication to enlighten and entertain our HORSE TIMES readers and, perhaps, to leave a lasting mark. Attending the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2014 in Normandy left me amazed after watching the riders at close quarters. Their ability to rise to the necessary competitive level of this event, the feeling of despondence on a bad competition day, and the hope for a better new day demonstrated each competitor’s strength, resilience, and character in a very inspiring way. Eye-catching fence designs featuring the region of Normandy were creative and not your usual logo-branded jumps. Normandy on its own was fabulous; Deauville, Honfleur, Arromanche and Caen were all breath-taking venues for this important event. Moments from the Games including the nerve-wracking halts, near falls, and falls during the cross-country and the tremendous mental pressure on the riders of the final top four in show jumping were exhilarating where Frederic Cottier, the show jumping course designer, displayed his wealth of expertise and ability in designing such competitive and technical, yet safe, courses. Every day of the Games we stayed up till after midnight to record, compile and organise all of these special moments and share some of our work efforts on our Social Media channels. The look of the courses and fences, the expressions on the faces of every enthusiast cheering for his friend or countryman or favourite riders - all of those glorious moments are gone, but are still captured on our files.

It was Great Britain who aligned with their able-bodied Equestrian associa.on, and it was Great Britain who earned Team Gold every year since the first inclusion of Para-Dressage at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics. The growth within Great Britain is an example of the growth around the world and in the United States for the high performance discipline of Para-Equestrian Dressage.
