Dedicated Dinks Rosette This award is available to any member and equine pairing who enter one competition per month for all 12 months of the year. It is to reward consistent training and dedication to the sport. All On-Line, Liberty, Junior, Young Horse and Equagility classes count and a handler can be issued this award with multiple equines. The Dedicated Dinks 2023 purple rosettes will be awarded at the end of the 2023 season and posted to any eligible pairing.

The award is named after Shenstone Shooting Star. Horse Agility Accredited Trainer, Melanie Garners Welsh Section D mare. Dinks competed at Advanced 1* and was the star of many of Heart Felt Horses “10 things to do with…” obstacle tuition videos. Mel says….”Dinks loved her Horse Agility and took part right up until her 30th year and we were able to move to walk only classes as they were required” Dinks, a former Veteran Champion and Equagility Reserve Champion continued to obstacle test for Mel even after retiring from the monthly competitions. Horse Agility kept a bright and strongly minded Welshie engaged for many years and come rain or shine this wonderful partnership were out training and filming. We are honoured to offer this award in Dinks’ memory of a wonderful and committed partnership.

If you are expecting to see your team here, and it isn’t, please email the club as we humans are collating this award!

  1. Emillie Long

    Well done everyone, I’m thrilled to have completed this with 2 of my 3, including 2yr old Rexelle who arrived pretty much unhandled and certainly not understanding how to lead in Dec 2022 and has come such a long way this year.
    Huge well done to Maggie Cason on completing with 7!!! Equines ????????

  2. Lisa Hickman

    Thank you for running this award. It definitely kept me motivated throughout mud, rain, wind and a broken wrist. So proud of my girls and honoured to be part of this wonderful club. Bring on 2024!

  3. Pat Aslund

    Wow, Congratulations to all you dedicated teams. Thank you to the club for including my disqualified entry into the tally. I’m keeping a closer watch on my level now LOL. It was a really good idea to honour Dinks memory.

    This award kept me going after Little Duke’s career ending lameness in February. We’d entered every single month for nearly three years together, and it would’ve been easy to take a prolonged break after I got the news that he wouldn’t be sound enough again. But I’d entered my 6 month old foal, Boudica, in Young Horse in January, and I just kept entering her. As the year went on, I regained my enthusiasm and entered lots of other horses as well, but Dedicated Dinks kept me motivated when the going got tough, thanks!
