SDRC have now received official confirmation from the BHS that if you passed your driving test prior to 1997, you can supervise a learner driver with the car and trailer but NOT with a lorry of 3.5 tonnes or over. This only applies providing the learner has passed their car driving test and is only learning with the trailer.

MEMBER NEWS - Fiona Leel and George compete at Blair One Star. Well Done to Both.

Fiona says "I would like to thank those members who were at Blair Castle horse trails and offered me support. It was an extremely nerve wracking and stressful time. Although going clear round mine and Georges first 1* cross country was the best day of my life so far. It was very sad that we were vetted out on the Sunday morning and were unable to compete in the show jumping. The problem was just due to a minor skin complaint on his leg which chose a bad day to flair up and thankfully not due to any injury incurred on the cross country. " See Photos for the big pictures!

Have you a photo of you and your horse in action, you would like to share ? If so email us for posting on the website.

Helpers Needed!!

Claire has agreed to keep a book of helpers to which the committee can refer to get help for each event. Nearer the event we can phone those who have volunteered with specific details.

If members want the committee to continue to organize the current high number of events then more help is needed. Please give Claire a call and let her know how you can help
