Withington Manor 2016: THE One Day Event

If Harveywetdog did Wikipedia

In April 2020 and in the interest of legacy I wrote a Wikipedia entry recording the thoughts and notable works of Harveywetdog. I admit I was ignorant of the rules concerning self promotion on Wikipedia and consequently my entry was correctly deleted and my account expunged from the system. As a result my original words and links were sadly lost but nevertheless here is a rewrite. Perhaps when I'm gone someone will be able to enter it onto Wikipedia as a fitting epitaph for my time on the Harveywetdog Project.

For my pre Badminton warm up I was pleased to return to Withington Manor Horse Trials in the beautiful Cotswold Hills for two days of thrilling eventing. I was there twice on Saturday, initially to watch Astier Nicolas and Molakai and then later in the early evening for the challenging Pony Trial.

Sunday wasn't such a nice day weather wise however I managed three circuits of the Withington course, two for the Novice Sections and finally for the Advanced Section which was packed with stars and incident. Best Wishes to Pippa Funnell and Georgie Wood and their boys after a couple of nasty falls in the Advanced.

Full report to follow in the meantime here are some links and pictures; I'm off to Badminton!
