What a lovely day!

What a great turnout at the Summer Show on Sunday 29th May from Area members and visitors.  Most of the classes were really well supported, nudging double figures in one or two of them.  We hope you liked the layout and format for the day, including the chance to win a prize in the lunch-time raffle.  We will be working on next year’s show in the coming months, so watch this space!

A massive thank you goes to all our competitors, our Judges, Janet Senior and Lorraine Hannah, our stewards and helpers.  The Photographer and team manning the BBQ and cake stall and to Donita and Richard for the use of their facilities.  Thank you goes to everyone who contributed to the raffle and also to those who gave generously to the Committee members who took part in the Tough Mudder Half on 14th May.  The Committee raised an impressive £1300 for the Area.

The next side saddle show is at Elms Farm on 12th June as part of a larger showing show.  We hope you can support this.  The next Area 12 show will then be the Pre-Champs Show at Professional Equine Services on 3rd July, first class starts at 10.30am.
