Annette Modena
Club & Membership Secretary
I joined PMRC in 2006 shortly after moving to Yorkshire from Northern Ireland. It was great to join such a friendly local club and I soon made some amazing friends. A couple of years later I became the membership secretary and I am still proud to be a part of the club who are like my extended family. Although I no longer own my own horse, I’ve been really lucky to be able to ride and help care for my friend’s horses. I started riding Sean, a slim 14.2 hh Connemara at the beginning of the year. He’s a real gentleman, very easy to handle and a responsive ride. We school and hack out but best of all he loves a gallop around the fields popping over logs. He can get quite excitable when he wants to “go” so I nicknamed him my Little Lippizaner as his jogging is a bit like Passage in dressage! He’s also very sensitive, he’s scared of flyspray and anything that flaps or makes a strange noise and during the hot weather he’s been plagued by flies. So much so that he now looks like a fleabitten grey where he has rubbed all the fly bites! I also ride Daisy who’s a rescued piebald traditional cob. She was found tied to a farm gate on Xmas Eve 3 years ago, not long after having a foal. She makes a great companion for Colin a 19.2hh Shire and they are now inseparable. At 14.3hh she’s dwarfed by Colin but she has attitude to make up for it. She loves to chase cows and dogs! We hack out around the South Yorkshire countryside, her best pace is her trot, once she’s off there’s no stopping her, she goes dead straight with her head in the air! Nothing phases Daisy, she’s virtually bombproof, however she only has to look at a blade of grass to put on a pound so she’d definitely be a winner in the roundest bottom contest. |

Kim Oliver
Publicity Officer
I joined Pole Moor Riding Club 6 years ago after attending one of their annual shows. I had just got a pony after being horseless for 14 years and wanted to make new friends in the horse world. My daughter, Olivia was looking forward to attending some local competitions and we didn’t really know where to start. PMRC had come recommended by a family member so it was the obvious choice for us. Two years later I joined the committee as publicity officer, mainly due to Olivia being a Junior committee member and as I had to drop her off at the meetings and collect her at the end it made sense to join the committee and just stay for the meetings. 4 years later and I’m still here!
4 years ago, I became the proud owner of Bryony, my Welsh D after loaning her for 2 years. I’ve never been one for competing and prefer to leave that to Olivia, and as we don’t have any facilities where I keep her, we are limited to the amount of proper schooling we can do without boxing up and hiring an arena. Therefore, we spend our time out hacking in the local countryside. Fortunately, Bry is 99.9% bombproof on the roads and in all kinds of traffic. Unfortunately, she is also a bit of a lunatic and lives up to the Welsh mare reputation. She is consistently inconsistent and whilst won’t bat an eyelid at a noisy skip wagon passing too fast, she often reminds me of the numerous hazards our poor hacking ponies face including how some purple flowers are in fact horse eaters and that stray leaves can be extremely dangerous to all equines. She keeps me on my toes, but I wouldn’t swap her for anything. Whilst my roll of publicity officer is generally one more for ‘behind the scenes’ I can usually be found at most PMRC events putting up jumps, adding up dressage scores or just generally wandering round chatting to people with a coffee in hand trying to look busy. Or at a social event with a large glass of pinot grigio in hand. If you see me come and say hi. I joined Pole Moor Riding Club 6 years ago after attending one of their annual shows.
