Guess What? The Two Phase is back on again. I checked the ground expecting it to be very soft - it's not it's fine. So we have spread jumps out over all the fields, even the ones we haven't been on before, and ready to go. We will even now accept entries on the field on Sunday! Spread the word!!

Irish weather wins again! Due to the wet weather and lack of entries we have decided to cancel Sundays Two Phase event. We will try again on another date. I will return the few entries we have. Appologies and thanks to those of you who did enter.

Last chance to enter for the two phase on Sunday. Entries close on Thursday 11th. E-mail them to me on granshariding@btconnect.com. The course is over the new show jumps, working hunter fences, portable x country fences and fixed obstacles.

While the fences are out we are going to have a Two Phase on Sunday 14th August. Check the web site for all the info, it is pre entered so spread the news and don't miss the entry date!! If anyone has pre loved gear Danielle Mollison has a shop at Heathview Stables where she will sell it for you.

We were so lucky yesterday with the weather for our summer show. Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a success, that includes competitors, grooms, admin helpers, stewards, judges, caterers and sponsors. Next year we will have two working hunter arenas so that we will be finished before bed time! Thanks again. AJS

Can anyone help me I am trying to get in touch with Jackie McCrory about the return of the Race Horse to Riding Horse trophy she won at our summer show last year. I am having no luck in contacting her. Can anyone help me?

Family horse class is for horses that are well mannered but not neccessarily show horses. The type of horse all the family could have some fun with. Manners are everything.

Did you all hear Stevens news? He came home with gold, silver and bronze medals! We are having a little reception for him tonight if anyone would like to join us at 8.00pm in the portakabin.

Thanks for all the good wishes for Steven, I'll keep you all posted. PS Kirsty passed her HGV Lorry test this week - I'm getting even closer to retirement!!

Great spot on BBC 6.30 news about Steven Yetman going to the Special Olympics. Check on BBC I Player!

We were very lucky with the rain yesterday, it just started as the last 3 horses were to jump! Hopefully it will be dry for next Sunday's jump cross. Gransha's summer show is on 23rd July. Schedules are available on line @ www.granshaequestrian.co.uk
