Burghley Horse Trials - 25% discount on season membership pass

11/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Following the changes both to the HTSG annual membership structure and the changes at Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials we have been able to agree a 25% discount on the usual season membership pass for all fully paid up HTSG members.  Members will be able to apply for tickets direct to the Box Office with a validation code. We really appreciate Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials working with us to be able to provide this benefit and are sure it will be appreciated by the members visiting Burghley for the first time in two years

View this email in your browser

Dear Member,

Thank you once again for your support in 2021; we hereby invite you to renew your membership for 2022.

For 2022 the membership fees are as follows:

  • Single membership - £195
  • Joint membership - £260


PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BASIS OF MEMBERSHIP FOR THIS YEAR TO INCLUDE BADMINTON PASSES ONLY.

WE HOPE IN THE SPRING TO BE ABLE TO OFFER DISCOUNTED PASSES FOR BURGHLEY, BUT AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH COSTS AND SO WE COULD NOT INCLUDE IN THE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP.


As usual, a proportion of the membership fee will go towards our fund-raising activities to support the British teams. We are confident that the membership fees still offer great value for money, considering the unique benefits members receive. In line with all things post covid, with all costs of contractors and fuel etc increasing, the costs of Badminton passes and the Badminton marquee have gone up by more than inflation.

To renew your membership you will need to set up a bank transfer or standing order to our bank account or send us a cheque. Please ensure any standing order payments are updated for the new prices above.

Bank transfers / standing orders can be set up as follows:

  • Account name: HORSE TRIALS SUPPORT GROUP
  • Sort code: 60-11-01
  • Account number: 24654132
  • Reference: Please enter your initials and surname as the reference so that we can trace the payment.

Cheques can be made payable to: HORSE TRIALS SUPPORT GROUP and sent to: Fi Boughton, HTSG Membership Secretary, c/o Lime Cottage, 4 Grange View, Askett, Buckinghamshire HP27 9LL.

Please be aware that the Badminton Box Office will be contacting members in December with log in details for their online ticket website, ready for you to apply to get tickets from the beginning of January. However, tickets will not be issued until we have confirmed to them that your membership renewal payment has been received.

If your contact details have changed since last year, please complete the online renewal form along with making a payment. The form can be found on our website www.htsg.co.uk. If your contact details remain the same, then payment alone will be fine.

If you have any questions regarding this renewal notice, please email us at membership@htsg.co.uk.

Looking forward to an exciting 2022 of competition.

With best wishes

HTSG Committee

Team GB are European Champions, claiming both Team and Individual Golds!

26/9/2021

0 Comments

 
History was made today when British quartet Nicola Wilson, Piggy March, Kitty King and Ros Canter secured the team gold medal in Avenches, adding to the World and Olympic titles already held.

​It was a clean sweep on the individual podium, too, with Nicola and Piggy taking gold and silver, and compatriot Sarah Bullimore taking the bronze. It was the seventh time Britain has taken all four medals on offer in 35 editions of the FEI European Eventing Championships.

All six riders on the team received funding support through our "Let's Make a Difference" donation to British Equestrian, which of course was only possible thanks to our members continued support.

Final British individual placings
Gold - Nicola Wilson and JL Dublin, 20.7
Silver - Piggy March and Brookfield Inocent, 23.3
Bronze - Sarah Bullimore and Corouet, 23.6
9th - Kitty King and Vendredi Biats, 28.9
10th - Izzy Taylor and Monkeying Around, 31.9
46th - Ros Canter and Allstar, 77.0

Final full results

BBC 2 is showing a highlights programme on Monday 27 September 15:30–17:15.

Team GB are Olympic Champions

Dear Member,

As I am sure you are aware Team GB won the Team Gold and Individual Silver at the Tokyo Olympics which was a fantastic result and the first time GB have won the team gold since 1972, 6 years before the HTSG was formed.

A special thanks must also go to all the members of the HTSG who have continued supporting us throughout the pandemic.  As you all know, the top group of riders were given invaluable funds from the HTSG in order to receive more training during 2020 and 2021.  This additional funding played a significant part in the campaign for medals in Tokyo and the selected riders certainly produced exceptional performances to win.

The HTSG have also helped to support the extra international events at Bicton and Aston le Walls, where invaluable competitions took place in preparation for the Olympics.

And, it is fabulous to have had Laura Collett (and London 52) as one of our scholars in 2018 and she has continued to be one of our ambassadors since then!

Karen Bartlett, our treasurer, has been involved with the HTSG for too many years to count, and we are all thrilled that her co ownership along with HTSG member Keith Scott of London 52 has made a dream come true!!!

I would also like to thank all our committee members who have worked so hard over the years bringing skill, hard work and invaluable support.

The HTSG would also like to thank all the players who have kindly agreed to play in the Golf Tournament at Naunton raising funds supporting our riders who are now preparing for the European Championships and hopefully another Gold medal.

All the best,

Ginny Elliott
HTSG Chairman

IN MEMORIAM: TIM HOLDERNESS-RODDAM 1942-2021

23/4/2021

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the sudden death of one of the founding members of the HTSG, Tim Holderness-Roddam on Thursday 15 April 2021, aged 78.  

As well as being a founding member of the HTSG in 1978, Tim was also our chairman from 1989 to 2009.

Tim was a passionate and knowledgeable advocate of eventing for many years. He gave his time freely to support, advise and promote the sport, including roles with British Eventing, British Equestrian, and both Blenheim and Burghley Horse Trials. In 2010 Tim was presented with the British Equestrian Federation Medal of Honour in recognition of his outstanding achievement and contribution to the international equestrian world.

Tim was educated at Radley College, followed by military service in the King’s Royal Hussars. His successful 30-year career at Tate & Lyle plc (UM Group) culminated in the role of MD of the United Molasses Group, where he was responsible for the worldwide trading, storage and distribution business.

Since retiring from the City in 2000, Tim held a number of consultancy and non-executive roles, including senior consultant to Bristol Port Company, which handles much of the import/export trade for the west of England; and a consultant to and former director of Abercrombie & Kent, the luxury and tailor-made travel business.

Tim was formerly a trustee of the pension fund of Countrywide Farmers plc and deputy Chair; Chair of the British Equestrian Federation Fund; Chair of Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials; Director and Chair of the Finance Committee of British Eventing; and Deputy Chair of Friends of Conservation, an international charity operating mainly in Africa and the Indian sub-continent.

More recently he has been involved as a Director of British Equestrian; a member of the British Eventing Finance and Commercial Committee; and a member of the Burghley Horse Trials Committee.

Tim was married to Equestrian Olympic Gold Medallist and current British Eventing President, Jane Holderness-Roddam. Together they own West Kington Farms and Stud in Wiltshire, specialising in breeding top competition horses.

​Tim will be sorely missed by everyone in the eventing community, where he was a popular and much respected colleague and friend. Our thoughts and best wishes are with his family and friends.

HTSG PLEDGE £20,000 TO "LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE" FUND

9/4/2021

0 Comments

 
The Horse Trials Support Group (HTSG) Committee is pleased to announce that we have, for the second year running, made a donation of £20,000 to the “Let’s Make a Difference” fund as agreed with British Equestrian’s Performance Director and Performance Manager for Eventing, Richard Waygood, MBE.

The donation to “Let’s Make a Difference”, raised through the HTSG, has been made to support the training of British riders who are in the running for selection onto the British Teams heading to the Olympics in Tokyo in July, and to the European Championships in Avanches in September.

The HTSG has a well-established partnership with British teams, having been established in 1978 with the specific aims of the aiding and funding training and development of talented riders for Britain's three-day event teams.  This latest donation affirms this relationship and we look forward to seeing British riders develop further thanks to the additional training they will receive thanks the generosity of our members.

We are particularly grateful to the HTSG Members who have continued with their memberships through 2020 and 2021, despite the uncertainty brought about by the global pandemic.

In addition to this donation, we are delighted to have been able to offer some financial support to both Bicton and Aston le Walls International Horse Trials who have stepped in to run much needed 4* competitions this spring following the sad cancellations of both Chatsworth and Bramham.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Horse Trials Support Group (HTSG) for their kind donation towards the CCI4* fixture we are hosting as a Bramham replacement for 2021. 

​Let’s Make A Difference is doing just that and we are thrilled that this collaboration will provide an opportunity to make a difference to the Sport of Eventing during these challenging times.”
 
Helen West, Event Organiser, Bicton International Horse Trials.
