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.  

Nunney Horse Trials Announces Permanent Cancellation

Nunney Horse Trials Statement:-

Following our announcement in June regarding the cancellation of the 2025 Nunney International Horse Trials, it is with further regret and sadness that we have had to make the tough decision to remove Nunney International Horse Trials from the Eventing calendar permanently.

The fixture date is too crowded and our national and international entries were way below expectations this year.

Nunney has meant so much and will be greatly missed by not only Competitors of all levels, but also to our wonderful local community who supported us year after year.

We are immensely grateful to our loyal team of volunteers, many of whom have been with us since the very beginning. Their dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm have made the event such fun.

Our grateful thanks to all our sponsors, our Main sponsors, fence sponsors and all who have generously supported us, without whom we would never get off the ground.

And finally, our deepest thanks go to our exceptional host, Mrs Angela Yeoman and her team. Her generosity over the years has been extraordinary — not just to Nunney International, but to many other equestrian events. While the International Horse Trials may be drawing to a close, Southfield House remains a vibrant venue, with Pony Club camps and other events continuing the legacy.

Thank you All.

Teresa Dufosee + Bridget Parker and the Committee

Harveywetdog adds

Sad to see another classic event disappear from the BE calendar; I had a very enjoyable trip to Nunney back in 2014. I never went back as I found that part of the world virtually inaccessible from Gloucester.
