Camp Application Forms - Have you sent yours?!

Please remember that camp application forms must be sent by 30th May to ensure you get a place at camp.

Horse Trials (4th and 5th May)

C+ and B Test Training

Training for C+ and B will resume when D+ and C at Peckleton has finished, unless anyone can make a Saturday. I would be willing to run a group on a Saturday as and when I can, so please contact me if you are able to do Saturdays.

The Branch achieved fantastic results at the H&PC Competitions at Far Coton on Wednesday 26th March. There were 18 Junior Teams competing in the morning session and our teams finished as follows:

  • Junior A Team    (Lauren Morrissey Becky Morris and Lydia Fox) - 1st
  • Junior B Team    (Beatle Payne Adam Read and Tilly Mantell) - 2nd
