Shannon Knights Equestrian & Events

ANNOUNCEMENT
Afternoon everyone, its me!! Awaken from the silence! Thank you to all those who have supported my shows the last few years, you are amazing and its fantastic to have made friends and watch the children grow with confidence and beam with pride. It saddens me to update you on the current situation, due to factors beyond my control I am unfortunately unable to host any events this year. It’s very disappointing for me and also stressful thanks to my insurers not refunding me a penny. I have opened a case, as I am sure many other annual debtors have, and if this large company does decide to show empathy, I promise to put any credited amount back into our small community we have built! Whether that be online competitions or an event in the distant future. So, for now its time for me to close old doors in order to open new ones! I will be sharing the yet to be seen photos from last years season (sorry I know, I’m sooo behind but my laptop has been pulling it weight recently trust me!) as well as catching up with those few I still need to get outstanding awards too. I will continue to keep this page up for you to access photos and memories but don’t be thinking that’s the last you have heard from me! Abbey (my gate girl, dog and dobbin queen and sister) and I are live and active with a new business platform so please do stay it touch with us from there. I am also slowly, slowly bringing on my biggest project, (no its not a pony) which I hope, also with your support, will grow into something exciting! So like and follow us on both Facebook and Instagram, say hello, drop us a message, would love to hear from you and what you’ve been up to! Search for 'ASK Equestrian'. Thank you so much, stay safe and see you soon!
Ps. I have kept this Saturday afternoon empty in the diary so will be in contact before then about delivering gift bags etc.

Hi everyone, me again! Not going to lie, I was a little disappointed when my first vlog didn’t receive much response. Out of all our prize winners I received just two texts and thought ohh maybe everyone is annoyed we didn’t hold the last show. Today I received a random message and low and behold all these messages have appeared!! I’m so sorry to anyone who thought I was ignoring them. I think I shared a post of a horse for sale and Facebook banned my page 😞 tonight will be spent contacting everyone, labelling up prizes and sending them off to all the right people now I finally have contacts for you all!! So sorry again and I appreciate your continued support # # #

SAFE TO SAY SHIW IS CANCELLED!!! IM SO SORRY EVERYBODY

Great fun had by all. Absolutely fantastic fancy dress efforts we simply could not decide on a winner! Jumping heights for all with a spin on each class's rules and score system!

Hope every body is keeping their fingers crossed that the rain will hold off for this Sundays event! As you are all aware, we have merged the two championship shows together. I will post approx. class start times tomorrow. Despite this table looking very conclusive, the championship is in fact very open. Horse and rider combinations must take part in at least one class of the championship show for their placings to validate and according to my entries it may well be possible to 'steal the show'. Lots of prizes to be won, Best Turned Out rosettes rewarded as usual sponsored by Impact Coatings Ltd. Would be great to see as many familiar faces as possible, the support has been fantastic and I hope you have had just as much fun as myself and the team! It's not too late to enter if you haven't already!

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ***

In a bid to squeeze last weeks event into the calendar as my hope of an 'indian summer' fades, I would like to thank every body for your patience and understanding. The show ground is our horses home and grazing area therefore preserving it is a top priority for us. Can we all keep our fingers crossed for some sunshine and dry spells to keep the ground happy and safe for one last event. Please spread the word and share with others. Times are amended so please do read the schedule carefully, bigger classes not to start before 11am. If you entered the last cancelled date please confirm if you are intending to come to this one! If those in the cross poles would like to take this opportunity to try a bigger class you are more than welcome! Decisions will be made on ground conditions towards the end of the week. Again thank you so much for your understanding, I know its not easy with busy weekend plans and some of you may have transport issues. We have been so super lucky with the weather so far I just hope the clouds turn in my favour just one last time!

*** ATTENTION SHOW POSTPONED ***

In discussion with land owner and the constant check of the weather forecast we have made the decision to postpone tomorrow’s show. I’m sorry to disappoint the children but your safety is important to us and I also hope to end this season on a high so call me fair weathered but soggy and miserable is not fun!! Details about rearrangement will be sorted this evening!

What a crazy summer!!! The sun is still shining so there's still lots of time for some show jumping! I have a mountain of the most beautiful photos to upload so watch this space everyone! Currently spending the afternoon adding up all your points ready for the championships, to all be revealed tomorrow! Schedules for the championship shows are shown below. If you haven't yet visited us over the summer please come along for some fun- all welcome! Spread the word and share this post :)

Anyone that still needs to make payment if you are bringing cash please bring correct amount in named envelope. Failing that funds will be kept on credit for next event. Many thanks!

The show will be going ahead this morning, fingers crossed the winds stay fairly humble! 9am start for the Fancy Dress followed by Xpoles at 9.30am. The 50cms will not start before 11am just as a rough guideline. I will keep you posted on here!

Anybody that hasn’t entered in the pairs but would like to I have someone looking for a partner! Message to match!
