New twist to AGA sponsorship and some Yorkshire banter - how many fences have you jumped?

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?"

Isabel Tompsett puts AGA race previews on hold for a day as she is keen to preview Thursday's Hunter Chase at Warwick

I called Isabel on Wednesday so that she could preview the pointing action this coming weekend, in particular the 2 AGA sponsored Ladies Open races at Friar's Haugh and Sheriff Hutton. She was in absolutely sparkling form and had just returned  from a shopping trip with, in her own words, "a trolley full of things".

AGA to launch 3 pronged attack on Sunday - lots of pointing action for the team this weekend

The AGA Pointing team will be dispatched to 3 different parts of the country this weekend as the season really starts to pick up pace. Derek and Mark will be up in the Scottish Borders with our colleagues from Lillie of Selkirk - Ron and Grant, where we are expecting a quality race and also to see some new names in the AGA Total Control Championship table by the end of the day.

The re-arranged meeting at Sheriff Hutton is also on our agenda where you will be able to meet Michael and Sara Ashby-Arnold from Country Warmth - the authorised AGA Distributor for North Yorkshire, Ryedale and the Humberside areas. They are a family owned company with over 25 years of AGA experience, and are located in a spacious two storey building on Scarborough Road just out of Malton - their beautiful shop is well worth a visit.
