Yesterday Ellie took part in the Area 14 Pony Club Dressage competition held at Southfield House near Frome, Ellie and her pony, Dominic, delivered a superb performance to win the Intermediate Dressage section with an impressive score of 76.5% out of 26 competitors. Competing in the Intermediate section due to her British Dressage Novice points, Ellie was riding against a field of experienced competitors, the majority older than herself. As the fourth combination down the centre line, Ellie and Dominic set the standard early in the competition, producing the highest score of the day. This fantastic result is a testament to Ellie's dedication, perseverance and commitment to continually improving her riding. We are delighted that she has now qualified for the Pony Club Championships at Offchurch Bury, Warwickshire in August. Photo credit: True To You Photography

This is your Sunday afternoon reminder that it is Week 2 this week. #reamdanebury #daneburyschool

We are proud to have been part of the NxtGen research project run by Southampton University Students. Danebury pupils took part in the study called 'Healthy Choices Start on the corner'. Here are some of the views and recommendations from the pupils who took part. Many thanks to Southampton University for inviting us to be part of the project!

Beau has been super busy..... Clay pigeon I went up with grandad so we could get a good spot and get the flooring and awning down. It is our closest one, so it was only about an hour and 20 minutes' drive and we had a spot saved next to Sebastian. Dad mum van and fox got there a bit later because dad had to work and then they came up with the caravan. I had an alright sleep and had 5 sessions on the Friday and after the 1st session I was 0. 2 off of my fastest time last which was a 41.4 so I was pretty happy with that. I kept on pushing and at the end of Friday practice I had a good lap time which I was happy with. Saturday, I had 2 qualifiers and 1 race but I had double that because I was doing an extra class. I was struggling to get the times over qualifying and qualified 6th and 9th which I wasn't happy with because I knew I could do better than that. In the class that was mixed there was one person who I was quicker than but just couldn't get by him and it was harder because he was on a 4 stroke. In the normal 50 race I got on better not the best place but done my best lap time which was a 39.9. On Sunday I had 2 warmups and 4 races, and on the first one I had to run the bike in because we had a new piston and piston ring. But then on one part of the track I ran out of road and ran onto the grass and if I rolled I wouldn't stop in time and I would hit the barrier so I purposely pulled the front brake and tucked the front so I wouldn't hit the barrier and it worked I didn't get hurt at all and the bike was fine. I then went out for my second warm up and no crashes that time. My first race was ok and so was my second, I didn't get the best places, but I did match my best time 39.9 so that was good. The next race I had it was with the 4 strokes, and I got a very good start in front of the one I was struggling to get by last time and was running in a good position and then just right in front of me a few laps in someone high sided. I luckily missed it and was far away enough to swerve round and I gained a place because someone almost hit his bike and lost time and places. After that big crash it got red flagged, but what was good is that it didn't take long for them to restart the race and I finished that with an alright position. It was the last race of the weekend, and I got another cracking start into 4th and was following the person in 3rd while getting ready to set a move up. I was making sure I was close to him and then coming out of the last corner he tried to get into his gear the first time and it didn't go into gear and then he tried once more and got into that gear but that lost him time and I had the run on him and I stuck it up on the inside into the fast left and took the final podium spot with a few laps to go. I didn't realise until coming by him he crashed behind me and I went across the line taking 3rd place which I was very happy wit but also because he crashed and the person who got it red flagged crashed, I got 3rd overall and in that last race I got a pb lap time a 39.3. Thanks Beau,

It's not too late to sign up!
