Richie McGrath - Breaking & Pre-Training

*** Car Parking Update***

Unfortunately the field which we were using to Park is saturated and the gateway is to muddy so we are reverting to plan B.

We will be using the hardstanding area around the farm for parking I am afraid we might also have to use overflow parking at Middleham Key Centre postcode DL8 4RA.

This is a short walk from the event (5 mins)

Please accept our apologies but the British Summer just keeps on giving :)

14/07/2024

We are Looking forward to seeing Everyone this afternoon. Fingers crossed the British Summer improves a bit as the day goes on.......

We will be running a couple of fundraising activities during the afternoon if anyone would like to get involved. There will be a very small auction the prizes include
* x4 Behind the Scene Badges to the The London International Horse Show Huge thanks to Joseph Akehurst
* A meal at renowned The Box Tree Restaurant for 4 people. Huge thanks to David & Jane Newett
