STRICTLY COME DRESSAGE – held in October attracted many entries of such a high standard – costumes were amazing and made it very difficult for our judges to decide. Entertainment was provided by the Horsemen of the Knight stunt riders and it was a fun afternoon for everyone. Our overall Champion was Amy Widdows with Hortons Pink Rose with her Snowman routine, but we feel everyone who took part was a winner .
Thank you to our sponsors Mary MacKay , Four Elms Day Nursery, Juliet and Dominic Langdon Down, Belinda Wilkins, Frogpool Manor Saddlery, Local Rider Magazine and Diva Bridles! And to Ian and Vicky Winfield and their team for making the day run so smoothly and providing such a fabulous venue! Photo is of our junior champion Lucy with Emile! Midsummers’ Garden Party at Pashley Manor in September was a lovely evening with nearly 70 guests. Over £5000 was raised during the evening through a Auction of Promises which included Art and many other lovely donated prizes. Thank you to all our sponsors of prizes and Mr and Mrs Sellick and her team for making it such a great evening!
PRESS RELEASE - THE EMILE FAURIE FOUNDATION
MY LIFE – NEVER GIVE UP, FEBRUARY 17th 2016 CBBC 5.10pm This programme will be immediately available on catch up TV for those that miss the screening. The programme follows one of the Foundations pupils K. K lives in Salford, Manchester in an area known for having significant social challenges. In addition to growing up in an under privileged environment K suffers from ADHD and has been excluded from school for the last four years. Two years ago K made contact with horses at Ryders’ Farm and found his sanctuary. He immediately bonded with the horses and was encouraged to approach the Emile Faurie Foundation for funding to support his dream of riding. The programme makers visited the stables and immediately noticed Kand were so taken by his story and the passion he has developed they wanted to showcase the progress that this lad had made and the difference the Foundation has made to this one life. The programme includes filming K at Emile’s yard and spending time with Emile; he even had the opportunity to ride one of his horses! The programme highlights Emile speaking about the effect contact with horses has on these young peoples’ lives and how it makes a real difference to their self-esteem, confidence and connection to the world. The Foundation continues to work hard to help and try to enrich these childrens’ lives through contact with horses. www.emilefauriefoundation.org.uk |
