Please Vote Here at BeyondSport website

The Ebony Horse Club has existed for ten years in Brixton and it provides access to top quality horse riding instruction and mentoring for young people aged eight to seventeen years old. The club targets young people in danger of social exclusion, whether through school exclusion, home circumstances, health, or poverty.

The club is now planning a major expansion to build a top class horse riding facility at Loughborough Junction.

The Ebony Horse Club is Britain's biggest provider of access to horse riding for disadvantaged young people & ethnic minorities and the kids trained by the club learn important skills in working co-operatively together.

The club provides other experiences for young people and I had fun watching the youngsters canoeing around the London Regatta Centre during the summer holidays. www.ebonyhorseclub.org.uk

They have been shortlisted for the London Legacy Prize for the Beyond Sport Conference and urgently need your votes to win this prize which is worth ?20,000 a year for three years please pass through your e-mail lists. Please act immediately voting ends on Friday 26th June

Thankyou

I noticed that as well. I just hope that the site actually works and registers even one vote per IP address.

Andystar - in answer to your question, no, it's not.

Thanks again - and please vote those of you who haven't done so yet.

I see Tessa Jowell's mentioned it in her newsletter:

"4. Finally, can I ask you to support a fantastic local group - the Ebony Horse Club - who are up for a well deserved award - but who need your vote to win.

Please take a couple of seconds to follow this link: http://www.beyondsport.org/the-awards/london-legacy/shortlist.php and vote for the Ebony Horse Club under the 'London Legacy Award' section2"

I voted for it after getting Tessa Jowell's letter, but I note the borough on the voting website is given as "Brixton", surely Brixton isn't a borough? Hope this won't affect the voting!

Thanks to everyone who voted for the Ebony Horse Club. They won the Beyond Sport London Legacy award worth ?60,000 over three years last night in a ceremony at City Hall.

It is one of the most inspiring and effective local organisations I have ever worked with in transforming the lives of hundreds of young people growing up in really tough circumstances.

Here's a message from the founder of Ebony, Ros Spearing, to everyone who voted for them:

Thank you for voting for us!

Last night Ebony Horse club won The Beyond Sport London Legacy Prize.

Please see Evening Standard Newspaper today and please pass this on to all those who voted for us.

Great news, I wonder if Horsebox had success in the Pentanque competition too (http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,30251)?
