Kyle
retains his crown
Ireland’s Mark Kyle is making quite a habit of taking first spot
in the CIC** at Scone Palace after scooping the number one position for
the third time in a row!
Leicestershire based Kyle rode Coolio, Ronnie Bartlett’s exciting
eight year old, to the top of the leader board in what can only be described
as wet conditions in an otherwise very exciting competition. Competitors,
owners, spectators, organisers and volunteers all braved the conditions
to make this event another huge success.
Organiser James Oakden said “I am absolutely delighted in the way
the courses rode in the new direction – I had very good feedback
from riders about that. I was distraught to be hammered yet again by
bad weather, in fact at 5.45 on Saturday I thought about turning around
and
going to get back into bed!”
“I really like this new layout you can now stand in the middle of the park and see most of the course. There were no accidents and everyone went away smiling which is the main thing, I am very pleased with the way the event went.”

April 2010 - Final preperations
Preperations for this weekend's event are well underway with a dedicated team of unpaid organisers working hard onsite to get the courses and arena's ready for Saturday. There is a huge amount of behind the scenes work that goes on to host the event and provide the excellent tracks our regular competitors are used to riding.
Fife Hunt PC to use CSHT courses
Fife Hunt Pony Club are running an Open ODE on Sunday 2nd May using
the BE90, BE100 and Novice tracks.
Traditionally the PC’s ODE takes place in August
but by moving the competition forwards competitors will get the chance
to compete over the our BE tracks, “We are running this instead
of our usual event in August in order to take advantage of the BE course
that
will
be all set up,
to help with much need funds for the continuation of the BE event and
to give so many more people the opportunity of using this amazing course” explained
Sue Lawrie, past DC of Fife PC and part of
the Sub Committee organising the event.
The event will also run as a qualifier for the Knockhill Horsepower Scottish Cross Country Championships which means qualifying rider will be eligible to compete at the Scottish Finals at Gleneagles on 10 October 2010. Open to every one. Competitors of all ages welcome, for more information click here
King Kyle set to return to defend his title
Mark Kyle is set to return to Scone Palace to defend his CIC** title. In the May event last year Kyle scooped a 1-2 and he didn't dissapoint in August, once again winning the CIC** which incorporated the Scottish Intermediate Championships. However with a very strong calibre of entries the CIC** could go many ways with a number of riders hungry for their first notable win of the season. One thing that is certain - its going to make great spectating!
March 2010 - Quiz night and auction a great success
The quiz
night and auction, held on Saturday 6th March proved to be a huge success,
with an excelent turnout. Teams of four entered to take part
in the quiz (which proved to be tricky for some...!), which was won by
Jane Simth's brainy team. The chilli proved very popular and there were
certainly no complaints about Patty Fraser's famous sticky toffee pudding!
The auction was very popular and some fantastic and unique lots were
up for
grabs,
raising
around
£2,500.
Organiser Sarah Oakden said, "It was a great evening with a huge amount of fun and laughter had by all. The money raised will make a big difference to last years bad earnings! A massive thank you to everyone who contributed to the auction lots, and who took part in the event."
"I think it will be something we can maybe expand
on every year in order to do to keep what I think is one
of the best events in the calender afloat!! A massive thank you
to everyone concerned and our committee who put so much into the event."
February 2010 - Its Quiz time!
Central Scotland Horse Trails are hosting a quiz night and silent auction in order to raise money to contribute towards the running costs and further course improvements.
The evening is set to be held on Saturday 6th March at Cleish Village Hall, Kinross, (10 minutes from J5 M90), and the auction has already raised some amazing prizes including a stallion covering from Hedgeholme Stud, based in Darlington home of quality TB stallions, which has been kindly donated by Andrew Spalding. In addition to this also on offer is a flatwork lesson with Olivia Wilmot (nee Haddow) on the advanced event horse Patris Filius and lessons from Olympic event rider Ian Stark, Les Smith, Jennifer Johnson and Elizabeth Leslie.

July 2009
Following a hugely successful event in May organiser James Oakden and
his hard working team have also incorporated a CIC** into the event. “The
exciting new development of the Scottish Intermediate Championships will
be incorporated within the new CIC2* class, which will mean competitors
can use it for a late qualifying run for the very popular Blair Castle
Horse Trials, or a final tune up”, said James.
