J Bridal shower held in Epsom Epsom and Area News by Jean Jeffery This has been a very busy week- end for most of the Epsom folks. The Epsom Tapscott families hosted a bridal shower for Nor- man and Maurice's neice Lorna at the cottage on Cameron Lake. There were about 35 present. Another kind of shower arrived while they were enjoying supper. That cottage was really over- crowded. The joy of the occasion was somewhat darkened by the Competing at Prince Philip Games her look better, and that helped 'to improve his confidence in the Spring. That helped to take him to the finals and onto the winin the Prince Philip Games and several other competitions. (From page 16) these games, Prince Philip has succeeded in Drsservin much of the riding skills and abilities that were part of everyday life at the turn of the century. It is quite a sport in which the competitors have to retire at 15. This is Keith's last year to enter, and had he not suc- ceeded, he would never have a - second chance. To clarify what the Pony Club is about, requires an ex- planation of what a ponyis. By the official definition, it is a horse which is under 14.2 hands high, or below 56 inches at the withers - thus suited for the use of children. The best horses for the Prince Philip Games are small and fast. Keith's pony, Rosha, is well suited for his purposes. fact that Lorna's father had just undergone surgery. We do hope for a speedy recovery. Another family gathering on the week-end was at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Jerrold Asling in Hanover. Congratulations on their 25 wedding anniversary. At- tending from this area, Jerrolds parents Don and Stella Asling, his sister Faye Ashton and husband Keith, also Robert and Jamie, his She is maximum height and spirited, which has required Keith to learn how to stradle mount her, and keep her in check. "If he can ride Rosha well, he can ride any pony," ex- plained his father. "This was a real advantage in the finals. Keith has been riding this half looney horse for years." Keith will be well prepared for international play with his background. When he travels to England for the games next August, he will be prepared to get on any pony they give him, and perform very well. Speaking of the Interna- tional games, the members of his team and Keith will onl meet for the first time a week before competition.

There are few boys in- volved in the Pony Club in gen- eral. Most of the competitors for the Prince Philip Games were female, and many of Keith's teammates will be girls as well. While the Pony Club is open to any up to age 21, many of the older members are in- volvedin the financial prizes to be had in dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country competition. Keith's mother is glad her children have had this opportu- nity to participate in the Pony Club." It is good for kids to meet other children from other parts of Ontario. It's nice for them to be able to share a eommon in- terestin horses." His father advises that Pony Club parents are secure about their children's social lives, "You can't do drugs and ride horses, or drink and ride. Last year, because of Keith's earnest desire to do well in competition, his parents boarded him at Greystone where he rode every day. In ad- dition to getting in those 45 minutes of riding every day (snow or shine), his horse was kept warm in the heated stables and didn't grow a win- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, August 22, 1989 -- 17 There is Vacation Bible school at Epsom this week Aug. 21-25 from 9:30 to 11:30.
