Equine activities just getting started for 2024
Results and pics from the local equestrian world
Hello everyone,
Equine activities are just getting started again after the Christmas and New Year break, so things have been a bit quieter this week!
This Horse&Field newsletter is just a quick update on those that have taken place, along with news of a new survey for owners of older horses!
Connell Hill held a Derby day between Christmas and the New Year, incorporating Pony Club ‘Barrier Spring Festival Arena Eventing’ Qualifiers. It was an action-packed day with some great jumping - evidenced by the first class pictures captured by Lyndon McKee!
Spillers are conducting a new Senior Horse Survey and would like to hear from anyone with a horse over 15 years old.
More details on these and more are available by clicking on the stories below or visiting Horse&Field and having a scroll through!
