Happy Easter from us all here at The Croft Equestrian Centre. May the Chocolate always be with us ....😃😃
See what has been going on in March & April.....
Last Saturday, we had a fantastic finish to our year with the 2018 Mal-Don Championship Prizegiving. Our three winners all turned up in their perfectly turned out show outfits, looking absolutely marvellous, and the sponsors, Paul and Paula Brazier proceeded with the Prizegiving.
Our Mal-Don 2018 Champion was Beth Mantel with Media Man, who received a fabulous commemorative rug along with a beautiful Championship Rosette and Sash. Gemma Parkes with Kingstead Capone were our Reserve Champion and received a wonderful commemorative Saddle Pad along with the beautiful Reserve Champion Rosette, and our Third Runner Up, Rachael Taylor with Jack received the lovely commemorative Le Mieux Bandages as well as the beautiful 3rd place Rosette. The horses all received a bunch of carrots as a huge well done, which they were extremely happy with. Finally all the winners received a credit voucher for a future class at one of our shows.
Each took a lap of honour to tremendous applause from all their family and friends and everyone from The Croft Equestrian Centre who attended the event. We are so proud of all of them.
Well done to Beth, Gemma and Rachael for making our first Mal-Don Championship so special, thank you so much.
We begin the qualifying rounds of the 2019 Mal-Don Championship at our 2nd March Show; we hope that many more will enter in 2019.
Oh what a night! Here's a few pics from our fantastic evening with the one and only Gaynor A Colbourn. Thank you to all of our willing demo combinations; the audience for their active participation, and of course Gaynor herself for such an entertaining show.
Gaynor will be back at The Croft on 29th March 2019 for another clinic, and popular demo evening - watch this space!
Shaun Mandy, Katerina Cox Dressage, Katrina Cantrell, Hayley Sykes, Emma Turner, Gaelann East, Gemma Bramwell, and the rest of the fab quadrille and pas de deux team!
