Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend with your horses! Thankfully, the weather was more favourable for equestrian pursuits than it has been of late, so at least all the grooming and polishing wasn’t in vain.
There was plenty on at the weekend, so there are lots of results and photographs to share - please do have a read to see whose name you recognise and who secured the top spots across the various disciplines.
In this latest Horse&Field newsletter, please find local results, as well as diary dates and details of forthcoming local equine events.
Please do check out the Horse&Field calendar, which lists the local equestrian activities that are taking place. The aim is to make this list as comprehensive as possible, so if you know of any events that aren’t yet listed, please let us know!
