December is here! It's time to cheer and celebrate the year we've had. East Sussex Pony Club members have accomplished so much and made wonderful memories along the way. I know you will enjoy reading about some of the year’s highlights in this newsletter, I hope it inspires you to be actively involved in the Branch next year. 

I want to say a huge thank you to our Pony Club family - members, parents, our committee, discipline heads and coaches for going the extra mile in challenging times and making so much possible. I’m so proud of all we’ve achieved in 2021 - keep up the great work - we can't wait to go bigger and better in 2022.

A common theme shared in our member reports is the joy of sharing our experiences with other like-minded equestrians. Blood, sweat and tears are shed but the memories and friendships created along the way are priceless. I can’t stress enough how the journey of being there, be it training, a local competition, Area, Regionals or the big one, Championships far outweighs the end, blink of an eye, result!

We are lucky to have access to so many wonderful opportunities - please remember they are provided by volunteers who give up their time freely, no small feat as we all lead such busy lives.

We’d love you to get more involved with YOUR Branch… it is incredibly rewarding. With your help and input we can strive to be the best we can be. Please support the wonderful voluntary work undertaken by our discipline heads and committee. Here’s to another successful year in 2022.

Happy New Year everyone!
