January 2007 EES are delighted to be working with Charles and Lynne Hirons on the introduction of an exciting programme of Equestrian Events at the beautiful Draycott House in Derbyshire. The programme will include a Dressage series, Affiliated Show Jumping as well as two British Eventing Events throughout the course of the year.
'A Great Day at Draycott' agree Lynne and Wendy
Wardencheck have linked up with Draycott House in Derbyshire to provide
secretarial and organisation assistance with their equestrian programme
for 2007. 'Our first event was the Eventathon on March 18th and we found
it great working on the preparations with Lynne and Charles leading
up to the day.' was Wendy Elliott's verdict. Competitors were delighted
with the course and complementary about the speed of the scoring system
and prize giving's. That was due in a large extent to the customised
control hub which Charles Hirons built with input from Paul Elliott
who confirmed the layout combining Cross Country Control and Scorers
would now be adopted at the BE Event running on June 2 & 3.
As part of a UK support team EES provided Paul and Wendy to assist
with the 15th Asian Games in Doha in December. The second only to the
full Olympics as the largest sporting event it was seen as the launch
pad for Qatar and their bid for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Working on behalf of the Asian Equestrian Federation alongside the local organisers and the Chinese team that will be forming the nucleus of the Olympic team for 2008 they played their part in both the Eventing and Dressage competitions.
Having gone to Doha to support the fence judging for the Cross Country Phase it rapidly became apparent that other aspects needed an infusion of complete professional support.
Paul Elliott was rapidly deployed to ensure the timetabling of familiarisation and the logistics of Cross Country day ran smoothly. ‘The excellent facilities had one drawback; the Cross Country site was 5 kilometres from the base for the rest of the competition. On Cross Country day the 34 horses had to make that journey through rush hour traffic and be in position for a 9 a.m. start. That meant organising with the Chefs d'Equipes of the 9 competing nations for their horses to be loaded at day break, having found 6 lorries for them and 2 three-ton trucks for the tack. Stabling, Supplies, Veterinary and wash off arrangements were put in place on site with each team allocated their own areas. This became essential as dire weather conditions and the tragic death of a Korean rider saw the competition delayed by over three hours. It was in the dark as the last of the teams moved their horses back to the Doha Racecourse under police and security escort. The agreement of the security forces to co-operate with security sealing our transport and escorting our convoy through the traffic and the maximum security blanket that enveloped the country for the Games.'
Meanwhile Wendy Elliott was asked to step into the breach for the Dressage competition. ‘There was a shortage of experienced Dressage writers, or scribes as they refer to them, and I linked with the Head of the Ground Jury, Mariette Withages from Belgium for the Team and Individual competitions. We were also linked in with state of the art software that fed the stadium scoreboard to keep spectators up to speed after each movement.'
With ringing endorsements from the organisers Paul and Wendy travelled home proud to have contributed the Wardencheck Professional Approach to the Games.
