The 2005/2006 IHDG Appeal

[Jenny (& the boys)]

The 2005/2006 IHDG Appeal is going to raise money for The Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies (SWHP) which is based in Monmouth, Wales. They are a dedicated charity who “care for abused or injured horses and ponies, rehabilitate them and re-home them in a safe, caring environment”. In the past years they have done amazing work with ponies left on Gelligaer Common as well as taking on horses and ponies from throughout the UK. For more details please visit their website at www.swhp.co.uk

After the great success of last years appeal (in which we raised over £3.5k for the Brooke Hospital) we’ve got high hopes for this year. If you have any ideas for raising money, would like to donate some of your time, energy or skill to the cause then we would very much welcome it!! Just post below or contact us (the committee - same as last year!) on [e-mail] with your ideas.

We’ve already kicked off proceedings with Cameo’s lovely offer of portraits and prints so go on, treat yourself!

[Annnf didnt login]

Hopefully some people may have sent donations after the Big Bike Ride (see separate thread) . Jenny, I have e mailed SWHP to tell them that some donations may arrive directly at their address. I need to get a cheque off to them myself now that Pay Day has been!

I have just had a friend`s dog to stay while she was away. The money she gave me for this will also go directly to SWHP.

Good luck with Cameo`s portraits and prints.

Hi holi,
The Brooke Hospital was last years appeal and the thread you looked at was to announce the amount of money raised.
The appeal for 2005 /6 is for SWHP.
Hope that helps ?

[lucia]

My little welshie came from the SWHP - they do a fab job!
I've got two portraits coming from Cameo of the fella, she's doing them as a fund raiser for the SWH so seemed appropriate!! ;D

Thank you so much for donating the money from the sale of your tabard.
It was a lovely surprise when Clare paid her money in and explained how / why it was there.
Thanks again for being so generous and of course thanks to Clare for buying it !

How to sponsor Big Bike Ride !
« Thread Started on 24-8-05 at 5:29pm »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, Chris Etchells (aged 21 years) and Tim Kerntiff ( aged 22 years) completed their Lands End to John O`Groats long distance bike ride after fourteen days of cycling. This was their first long distance bike ride. A great experience for them but also a real achievement of endurance, fitness and stamina.

The boys also hope that their Big Bike Ride will raise some money for the IHDG charity of the year, if people would like to send a "Well done" donation.

The IH Appeal this year is for the Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies , based in Monmouth. If you would like to send a donation to help their work, it has been agreed that donations will go straight to the charity this year, so that money can be quickly available for use with the animals. The DG`s Eileen will not be collecting money as she did last year.

Please send a donation , however much you can afford, as a cheque made out to

Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies

Please write IHDG Big Bike Ride on the back of your cheque.

The address to send cheques to is

Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies,
Coxstone,
Monmouth,
Monmouthshire,
NP 25 5Q5

If you want to find out more about the SWHP please go to the For Sale section of the IH website , where there is a link to the charity`s own website.

Thank you !

PS I will let you know when photos of the trip are up on a photo album site.

If there's still an interest, I'll do five.

I charge £25, so if you want a reading,

* e-mail a photo of your horse (or other pet) to IHDGcharity(put at sign)talkinghorse.co.uk
* include the horse's name age and breed and what information you would like me to obtain
* make your payment and let me have details of the bank you paid in at and date of transaction
* I will e-mail your reading back to you, allow at least a week from when your payment is made, as I work on a first come first served basis.

How to pay your donations:

Any cash / cheque donations can be made directly into any HSBC bank:-

HSBC Bank
Wantage Branch
A/C 81248715 Name: Intelligent Horsemanship Charity donations.
Sort Code: 40-45-36

Credit / Debit card payments can be made through: www.paypal.co.uk
The payment reference is: [e-mail]

Once I have had five e-mails, I will post on here, so that you don't make a payment unnecessarily. If there are any available spaces, because someone changes their mind, I'll post on here too.

I'll pass on the payment details to Eileen.

Huge thanks to Sarah for this amazing amount that she has raised for SWHP.


Hi Charity Team,

I've wired through £75 today. £25 is in respect of Health & Safety
documentation copied to me by Sarah Weston. £50 in respect of the money I earned in Namibia in January fixing horses for local residents (I was charging the local labour rate - 10% of ours!)
Are you set up with gift aid? If so I can fill a form in for you.
Kind regards

£1 per sale to be donated to the charity appeal
« Thread Started on 10-3-06 at 11:53am »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My company have agreed that for every sale from DGers through our Ebay site between now and the end of April, we will donate £1 to the charity appeal.

I want us to be able to send off a nice fat cheque to the charity appeal.

So here's how it works

Go to our Ebay shop and order lots.... Then email me to let me know who you are on here and I will put a pound in the pot. At the end of April I'll add up all the pounds and will send it off to the charity.

We want to raise at least £100 so get your cheque books out.

stores.ebay.co.uk/DISCOUNT-EQUESTRIAN

Above is the shop address. If you don't see what you are looking for, email me and if we have it I'll create a listing.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE CHARITY, they need all the money we can raise.

Thanks

Diane

Nicola Is A Star!
« Thread Started on 21-12-05 at 7:52am »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The way in which Nicola has thrown herself into raising money for the Appeal has been fantastic. And my horse Bobby, his friends and I were able to witness first hand just how very kind and big hearted this wonderful DG'er is.

We were lucky enough to have successfully bid and won aromatherapy oils for Bobby and a pampering gift basket for me. My bid for the oils was double provided that Nicola bought them to us personally to show me how to use them correctly. And this Sunday just gone she did!

It was a bitterly cold Sunday evening, with Nicola having travelled from Essex to Northamptonshire both Saturday and Sunday for two full days of equine related courses. You would never have known this from Nicola's sheer enthusiasm. Not only did Nicola spend an awful lot of time finding oils which Bobby wanted, but she also took the time to source the right treatment for my friend's pony Bugsy who was suffering from a bad flare up of his dust allergy. Whatever oils she was trying on Bobby was offered to several other horses and ponies too - nothing was too much trouble.

And THEN - Chelsea a gorgeous little pony who has quite bad breathing problems was hanging around outside the barn and coughed. Nicola promptly spent even more time working with Chelse to find some oils to help her too. Nicola's view was that if there was a pony who needed help and she could help them, then she would!

When so often you read threads about bitchiness at yards, uncaring owners etc etc (which I have witnessed on occasion myself) it restores your faith in human nature somewhat to meet someone as genuinely caring and committed to horse's welfare as Nicola is.

So from Bobby and me, from the Sanctuary pony you are treating with Bach remedies etc Nicola a huge huge THANK YOU. You have been instrumental in raising a large sum of money towards this appeal as well, which is just fantastic. Have a great Christmas and look forward to seeing you again in the New Year x

I would like to second that on behalf of all those involved in raising money for SWHP this year.
When Nicola helped us out last year, we figured that we has exhausted her amazing kindness, but as you may have read in the Listening Post, she has amazed us again this year.
Nicola is one of those people where nothing is too much trouble. Not only has she thrown herself into this and raised a HUGE amount of money but she is always there when you need her.
Thanks a million Nic. You have made such a difference to this years appeal.
Casper, you too are a star for your very kind donations and direct help to SWHP through your kindness,
xx

Hi Sulasmum

good quality Rose oil is VERY expensive isn't it

I have some cream I made up with Rose and Frankincense essential oils, I can send you some of that if you like? It's £4.50 for a 60ml pot (and a little goes a long way) plus £1.50 P&P, both oils are very good for the skin. Feel free to PM me if you would like some.

As previously discussed taking primrose oil as a supplement may be beneficial along with vits C, B complex and E. Also applying Evening primrose cream (available from most health food shops) to your skin could be a cheap and easy alternative to rose essential oil.

ex-foliating with a natural exfoliator such as fine oatmeal will also help with the flaky skin.

Hope that helps....

Marywelsh I love the lavender to, I get through loads! No profit for me with that one LOL - glad you enjoyed your goodies

Sorry I have only just got back to this thread. That would be great Nicola, please PM me with your address and I will send money to you. I saw a skin specialist last week, who looked about 10 years old. He has prescribed a lotion with coal tar in it despite me telling him that it makes my skin sore and itchy. I have tried it and it is doing exactly what I told him it would so have stopped using it.

PP has arrived.......
« Thread Started on 2-3-06 at 5:09pm »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
( See "Around the Uk in eighty days " thread )

Yes, PP arrived this morning in almost show ring condition.
Considering he has travelled all the way from Lambourne, he is looking pretty good !

He sweated up just a little but after a good rest in his stable he seems ok for his matharon tour of the UK

I don't have any travel boots for the next part of his journey, but I am confident that one of our lovely dgers will donate him a pair on his travels ?

So, I am off to check out who he is travelling to next in Sussex and will send him on his way.

Look after him all

Sorry for the delay in getting news to you but once PP has opened his pages.... well he's hard to put down - box rest is definitely an option, glass in one hand, PP in the other!!!!!! He is an absolute delight! The stories he can tell and the pictures he has to show you will make you sign a cheque for the SWPH dontation and another immediately ordering your own copy! Will see if we can get a good travel rug for him to continue his journey and then get him under way - ANYONE FOR THE WEST SUSSEX TO SURREY OR KENT STRETCH AVAILABLE?


PS to other PP, this one is your male counterpart my dear, equally as delightful and lovely as yourself but on the streets and trying to beg at the moment!!!

He's on his way again - at this moment hurtling towards Roo in Surrey. He is such a poppet I'm sure you will all enjoy his visit and he's looking forward to raising lots of money for SWPH - have fun all!

We have quite a hectic weekend planned for PP. A small tour of the area Friday eve, then a tea party with guests on Saturday and Zoe RA is coming to rescue him on Sunday morning and take him on to pastures new....after we all have breakfast, which will no doubt be a huge pot of coffee and a BIG plate of brownies And of course Simon will do photos for PPs fanclub

Around the UK in eighty days !!

Ok, we have a cunning plan ...........

We have kindly had a donated copy of Perfect Partners from Kelly and signed by Kelly.

The aim is to get the book to do its own tour of the UK !

So, basically, it will start here in Sussex. If anyone of you would like to take part in this hairbrain scheme, here is what you do:

Log your interest here on the thread. I sign and date the log in the book, and pass it on to the next interested party closest to me.

Each person hands over a £5 cheque with the book. You can only keep the book for up to 48 hours so the next dger needs to be as close to you as possible.

Not only will you probably get to meet new Dgers in the process but you will be raising money for SWHP. We want to get the book signed by as many people as possible and although it will probably end up being donated to SWHP themselves as a momento of our fundraising, the names and locations of where the book travels, will be entered into the next Listening Post magazine.

Hopefully we can log the whereabouts at all times of the book - oh and we need one person in each county to offer to pay in the cheques from that area please ??

Oh - one last thing ....... anyone who loses the book get send to Kelly and left in the round pen for eternity

PPs Tour - Surrey stopover report
« Thread Started on 19-3-06 at 10:30pm »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PP arrived on Friday from Esme and spent the first evening relaxing with us after a hectic journey. An open fire and some good wine were the order of the evening!

On Saturday PP toured the farm and met Mrs H and Kas over some yummy food. Pete demonstrated that Pie is not the only horse who reads




And round here its not only the horses that read as Mango proved



Then this morning Zoe Chipman RA came to rescue him from the funny farm and off he zoomed to pastures new

Oh my goodness Roo - he is looking good !!

I am so pleased that he had some friends to give him the 'once over' - in fact, i think that Pete may have been a bit ' up too close and personal ' but hey ho !

He certainly will have enjoyed the attention of the ladies - Roo / Mrs H / Kas and Zoe.... wow.

( I will post my little photo of his stay with me as soon as I get a minute )

SOS!

PP needs to move on in the next couple of days, so would anyone near the Surrey/Hampshire border like to arrange to meet me for a drink so we can send him on his way?

He was very happy with Roo and Simon, but he did put on a little weight. His weight has now been adjusted but will need to have an eye kept on

I've missed something - I haven't got a clue what you're talking about .

But it sounds like PP who/whatever he is, is worth having over... or not???

Sounds like he's off Surrey for now, though - and I haven't got time to bake brownies, so maybe he won't like a stay with me

Miranda, I'm even more confused - why is MM better than PP...

Is this is a book, a dog, a horse, a thing or a person???

Beats me, but I'm a foreigner so you need to SHOUT maybe then I'll understand...

We can now announce a new auction. Dressage Lesson.

The deal is that whoever wins the auction goes to Hannah's place just off M1 J31 at a mutually convenient time. She doesn't have an indoor school so its weather dependent.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO-HOO What a ride!"

Yippee, this is going towards Jeavons Chrissie pressie surprise.

Last year I bought her a lesson on and Advanced schoolmaster which she thoroughly enjoyed as she was able to practice changes and half-pass and all sorts. I posted some pics of it so this I will definately have to do for this one.
Hopefully the naughty Scudly Dudly will be doing the journey if I can conker the travelling issues. If not good old Peppi will do an admirable job I'm sure.

Will let you all know the outcome.

(Closed) Another Fab Auction
« Thread Started on 28-11-05 at 9:55pm »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
www.blueunicornstudio.co.uk/a_hoy.jpg

Bluuni has very kindly offered this signed picture of Andrew Hoy for Auction.
I think you will agree that the picture is fab. This is what Bluuni said about it........

The graphite pencil illustration is of Andrew Hoy on his 2004 winning round at Burghley Horse trials 3 day event, on his horse - MoonFleet. The original is still held in my possession, but I have produced a limited number of giclee prints, of which 20 copies have been signed by Andrew Hoy himself (I personally visited him and he signed them in my presence!).

The print is A3 size, double mounted in card to give a finished size of 16" x 19".


The closing date for this auction will be 10th December (midnight ) so just in time for the ideal Xmas present.

( Many thanks Bluuni )

( The winner who paid a wonderful £25.00 was Catrin )
