AGA Pointing videos - perfect for a day without pointing or racing, so if you're staying in today why not have a look at Beazo's interviews?

John Beasley, renowned for his high quality photographs, is again taking our pics this season, however, he also has a new challenge. Following every AGA Ladies Open he interviews the winning rider by the AGA van, then finds a quiet corner where he edits the video and uploads it to Youtube. So, by the time the AGA Pointing team have returned home after racing, Beazo's latest masterpiece is ready to be viewed!
Beazo in action!

What happens to an AGA photographer when racing is postponed? John Beasley - the reluctant tourist!

Every weekend during the pointing season we are treated to some of the finest photographs that you will ever see, and this season we even get a video of the winning jockey as well! Yes, that's right, you will find a video interview on Youtube after each AGA qualifier, no matter where it is in the UK, it will be there, usually the same evening.

AGA Total Control Lady Riders' Championship - updated table, joint leaders but it's wide open!

After an interesting weekend of pointing action we now have joint leaders in the race to win a brand new AGA Total Control cooker. Claire Hart and Angela Rucker lead the way with 20 points apiece after both picked up some additional points in the ladies race at Thorpe Lodge, but the challengers are queuing up behind them.
The last name on the list is interesting - but it does not
apply to Mr Derrick I hasten to add!

Yorkshire Point-to-Pointers get the better of Jack Frost at Sheriff Hutton - move over Jeremy Clarkson, Mick Easterby is in town!

Guest blog by Sara Ashby-Arnold of Country Warmth
I am very grateful to Sara who rushed home from a busy day at Sheriff Hutton to pen this review while still in her boots and tweed jacket, here it is hot off the press - thank you Sara!

The Yorkshire Area P2P Club meeting went ahead successfully on Sunday 29th January, having been postponed due to frozen ground earlier in the month. There were sighs of relief all round this morning when despite a wintry scene the course was passed fit to run - and boy did they run! The horses coped with the chilly weather admirably, however, the racegoers were left hopping from foot to foot in an attempt to warm up. Of course that was no problem for us on the AGA stand as this was truly AGA weather!
Sara and the AGA - both looking fab!
