***STOP PRESS***
Back by popular demand Richard Waygood MBE has agreed to do another session for us which will be open to all Area
13 Pony Clubs as well as our own members.
After his recent popular session for the 16+ age group Richard has agreed to hold another session on the 4th April,
again at Priory Farm with the kind permission of Jack and Sandra Bucknell.
There were some requests last time that the session be opened to those under 16 also
as it was felt they would get great benefit from the session, so this session is open to
members intending to compete at the Area 13 Area competitions in either Eventing, Show Jumping or Tetrathlon
and will be jumping orientated.
Please note spaces will be limited as group size will be restricted.
