Sunshine and a warm welcome in Wales as Jodie Hughes bags her first ever AGA win

This was a mammoth trip and the original (and sensible) plan had been to travel down to Wales the day before, but we decided to have Easter Sunday lunch at home with the family (well, when I say we, what I really mean is that Mrs S decided!). Having said that it was a good […]

Yet another AGA thriller as Horsham Lad and Ravethebrave serve up a treat at Mollington!

A ‘home game’ today so to speak as the 16th AGA Ladies Open race of the season was taking place almost on the doorstep, and for the first time in ages I was able to leave the house after 11am to go pointing!

Catherine Walton makes it 4 AGA Ladies wins from 4 rides with another successful trip to Yorkshire!

The AGA slogan is a ‘Warm Welcome Home’, and that’s exactly what we got on our return to Yorkshire! We get a warm welcome from the point-to-point community wherever we go, but it’s particularly warm whenever we go to Yorkshire … we can even feel it when we’re just passing through!

The blog is back with an AGA double header at High Easter and Hackwood Park

Why the lack of blog posts? Well, I’ve missed a few weeks due to being incredibly busy, and there have also been a few ‘technical issues’. I fully intended to catch up and write a blog post for every point-to-point meeting that I’ve been to since my last post – Didmarton, Garthorpe, Charlton Horethorne, Wadebridge, […]

Bryony Frost delivers Aikideau right on the line at Badbury Rings to win her first ever AGA race

An overnight stay in sunny (yes, I really did say sunny) Bournemouth preceded our visit to Badbury Rings for the seventh AGA Ladies Open race of the season, although the sun didn’t last and Sunday was rather gloomy. Having said that we had a tremendous day and for the second time this season Mrs S […]

AGA owners championship takes centre stage at a wet and wild Larkhill

What do we do on a weekend if our AGA qualifier is postponed? That’s easy, we support our championship for owners and go pointing somewhere else! We actually had a plan A, B & C this weekend, and it was plan C – Larkhill – that won the day (heavily influenced by the weather). We […]

Leanda Tickle is the latest new name on the AGA championship leader board as the sun shines at Black Forest Lodge

The AGA series has had a flying start so losing Horseheath was a real blow, and it left us looking at a weekend without an AGA ladies open race. That was not an option so a replacement was sought and an additional fixture in the Devon & Cornwall area was added, with the Mid Devon at […]

The Jedforest give us a day to remember at Friars Haugh as the AGA UK point-to-point tour reaches Bonnie Scotland

What a weekend! Our longest drive of the season was rewarded with an incredibly warm welcome and a fabulous days racing as the Northern area did us proud for the second week running. There was another well supported and competitive AGA ladies open race for us to enjoy, and we now have a genuine title […]

Rain and mud at Alnwick but there are smiles all round as we enjoy another AGA cracker

The north-east weather men had promised us sunshine by the time the first race was under way, but instead we had rain, mist, more rain, black and grey clouds and loads of mud, with the sun finally appearing as we started our journey home! But that didn’t matter, and it all just added to the […]
