We love our sponsorship here at AGA and not a week goes by without a good old brainstorm session taking place to see whether we can come up with another innovative idea. We've seen some ultra competitive racing and the new AGA Total Control Lady Riders' Championship is really starting to take shape. We're pleased with progress but now we need to kick on and take it to the next level - more of that shortly.

The question from Jo Mason is "will the last fence look like this at Sheriff on Sunday?" |
If you are going to Sheriff Hutton this weekend then can I ask you to visit the Country Warmth AGA show trailer, where you will be given the warmest of Yorkshire welcomes by Michael and Sara Ashby-Arnold and their team. They will have a live AGA and I'm reliably informed that they will also have lots of tasty treats for you to enjoy, they will also have a camera!

What's the significance of the camera I hear you ask, well, if you've seen me out and about with the AGA Pointing team then you will know that we love our photos. Everywhere we go we like to take as many interesting snaps as possible to share on here, so Michael and Sara have been set a little challenge for Sunday. The first part of this is to get a snap of Michael with Mick Easterby, we started the ball rolling at Dunthrop last week with our shot of me and Jezza "3 AGA's" Clarkson, and we think Michael and Mick is the obvious choice this week.

This is a tough act to follow, can you do it Michael? |
However, there are plenty of other names on Michael's list, including all of the lovely Yorkshire lady riders, in particular the girls who have been responsible for some very funny twitter banter in recent weeks. Sam Drake, Jo Mason, Jacqueline Coward, Pip Tutty, Gemma Tutty, Luci Sutcliffe & Claire Sutcliffe please step forward and pose for the AGA Pointing camera ... oh, and don't forget the Tinkler brothers, you will also be in the frame!

Clocks and points ... but there's more! |
Have a super weekend pointing wherever you are and send us your snaps as well, there may even be a prize for the best one. Kicking on - right at the start I mentioned taking our sponsorship to the next level so look out for some new initiatives that will be announced next week. To give you a little taster I can tell you that there will be a prize for the rider that has jumped the most fences in AGA qualifiers this season ... watch this space!
