9th April 2023: Area 18 Combined Training Qualifier
Thank you to everyone who helped us run the show at Allenshill, especially as it meant giving up your Easter Sunday.  It was a great success and we had lots of positive comments about the day.
Our Junior Riders did brilliantly, with Katie Spanswick coming 2nd in her class, and Rose Chugg-Martin winning hers, so qualifies for the Championships next month.  Sadly, no team place for our Seniors, but Beth Evans was 3rd individually in her class.
