LATEST NEWS and SWAWPCS Updates

!!NEW STALLION ADS NOW ONLINE!! see "At Stud for your 2010 season!!

STALLIONS AT STUD IN SPRING NEWSLETTER

      Last year there were hardly any entries for this section of the Newsletter and NONE have so far been received for spring 2010.   This is very disappointing in view of the number of Welsh and Part Bred stallions standing at stud in the region.   Please do support this and send in your entries without delay using the enclosed reply slipclosing date was 6th February so please send by return.  WE ARE MAKING IT FREE THIS YEAR.(to members!)   We do quite often get asked for stallions at stud in a certain area and unless we know where they are we cannot point potential customers in your direction.   The list also gets reproduced on the Association’s website and as a separate booklet to put out at shows

 SHOW CUPS AND TROPHIES

          This is an appeal for anyone who has ever won a SWA cup or trophy to look and see if they have still got it, we are missing a few cups and in spite of the signed receipts accepting full responsibility whilst in their care, people deny still having them.   Before going to the expense of replacing these missing cups, we would ask everyone to check extra carefully.   If you find you do have one of the SWA’s cups please return it to a committee member or the relevant show secretary.   We intend to start a list of people who have not returned cups and they will not be allowed to take any in the future and we may publish in the Spring Newsletter a list of those cups for which we have receipts but which the people who signed for them deny having.

 PHOTOGRAPHS FOR WEBSITE

 Please keep sending in photographs of ponies and cobs which have either done well and are owned by a member or ones that have been bred in the area.    They must be good clear photographs of the ANIMAL.   Also any interesting stories about ponies or cobs which would not necessarily do well in the show ring but do so much in advertising the attributes of the Welsh – the show ring is not the be all and end all of everything!!   Rob’s e-mail address is karenofpolmesk@btconnect.com.  If you do not have e-mail send the photographs to Rob and he will scan them in.

 HORSE TAX

    Do keep yourselves up to date with the latest information available and check the Defra website.   Horse & Hound are giving full details in this week’s issue it is believed but some of the rumours that are going around have to be heard to be believed.   The WPCS has joined in the concerted opposition to the tax from the equine world so watch out for any further action that individuals can also take. Log in to this link www.rethinkthehorsetax.org  It gives all the information and you are able to sign the official No 10 government petition.

URGENT !!  ROYAL BATH & WEST SILVER MEDALS

 The Royal Bath & West have again asked us to find sponsors for the WPCS Silver Medals at the 2010 Show.   There is one for each Section and the cost is £40 each.   If you would like to sponsor a medal or join up with a friend or stud to share the cost could you please let Sue Hardy know.   The schedule will go to print in January and it would obviously be advantageous to get the sponsors’ names in that so the sooner anyone can let me know the better.
