Winter Dressage League starts at Hagans Croft Equestrian

With classes from Intro to Medium level, there is something for everyone

Saturday, November 16 saw the start of Hagans Croft Equestrian's six-week dressage league. It was great to see both new faces and returning faces to this venue. It was also very positive to see riders out with their new horses for the first time, with young four-year-olds taking to the white boards like pros and, for those who gave their first ever dressage competition a go, everyone did an amazing job!

With Intro classes to Medium level classes, there is something for everyone.
