fantastic weekend was had by all at brendon Stud in Pyecombe for their annual children In need weekend Show which included fun pony classes, arena eventing and show jumping. Over 200 riders attended the show with fantastic costumes including Pudsey, batman, Superman and a whole host of other superheroes. Pudsey popped in on Sunday to help present the rosettes in one of the lead rein classes, proving a big hit with the younger generation. From donations received from entries, auctions, lucky dips, cakes and the table top sale the show raised a whopping total of over £2,500 for children In need. classes were extremely well supported both days with lots of winners, including Sunday’s champion of the day, madeline rainer on her wonderful ‘Octopus’ bailey. mj the super terrier kept his dog agility title for another year running with ruby Light, who also won fancy dress on Saturday on her pony Hot chilli Pepper as Superwoman. On Saturday, the adults turned out in fancy dress to support the cause too, with spots and costumes galore in every class, including two of brendon’s loyal supporters Team nuth, ruth corbett and nikki Swannack, who were adorned in spots. Thank you to everyone that supported the children In need weekend, which has raised over £10,000 since the first show seven years ago. See you all again next year!
