Looking for a couple of people that fancy joining our dressage team. You will do one prelim test on the Saturday followed by a different prelim test on the Sunday.

If you fancy something a bit spicier 😂 how about Showjumping? Have a couple of people interested in the 80cm class so could make a team if anyone wants to join them 👌🏻👌🏻

All welcome to join in!!!
