Back up the centre line at Hagans Croft Equestrian
Dressage league gets underway, with plenty of talent in attendance
Saturday, July 6 saw the start of Hagans Crofts five-week dressage league, where competitors turned down the centre line to a selection of British Dressage tests from Intro to Elementary level. Although entries were low, talent was aplenty, as judge Coreen Abernethy kept her eye on all those horses and riders out for their day’s competition.
Hagans Croft would like to thank everyone who supported the first leg of this five-week Dressage League. Thank you to judge Coreen Abernethy, scribe Barbara and to scorer Katie. Thanks also to Justina from Black Horse Photography for covering the event. All photographs can be viewed and purchased from the Black Horse Photography website.
