Stars of the Laurel View Summer Dressage League
As the Autumn/Winter Dressage approaches, here's a round up of latest Laurel View results
Summer passed in a flash and September has sped past, soon the Autumn/Winter Laurel View Dressage will get underway on Sunday, October 6. But before Summer is a distant memory, let us reminisce over the results from the last of the Summer league competitions…
It has been great to have support from so many different competing combinations, coming from all over the country. There was lots of variety in those that claimed the top spots, so it was great to see who came out on top after the league calculations were all done.
