Riding and Road Safety

Holcombe Hunt have organised some ‘riding and road safety’ training sessions, these will be followed by an exam.

We can’t stress how important these sessions are and all members who do not already hold a riding and road safety certificate should attend.  Apart from the obvious safety reasons of attaining this certificate, it is also a necessary qualification to progress through to the ‘C Test.’

The sessions will be held on:

Saturday 3rd May 2008, 10am - 12 noon at Croft Top Equestrian Centre.  Unmounted theory session, so no ponies please, just pen and paper.
