Thank you to all you kind souls who braved the weather on Saturday 9th August. What a shame it couldnt have been Today ( sunday morning 6.50am) when we have radiant sunshine. We have already had emails & text messages of thanks and we carried on despite being very wet with smiles on our faces as did most people suprisingly. We had very few moans, only about our equestrian life classes which i did confirm that you can only compete in these if you carried the relevant card, issued by us or equestrian life, This was not in our schedule but our rules & regulations for these arrived after going to print. We had plenty of other classes to chose from on the day. I am going to make a start on the results soon, I have no idea who came where except in the Welsh Championships and Supreme of show. Well im off to dry the tents in the sunshine and i hope you enjoyed your day, The good news is we thought we may not break even this year but with everything we managed to make a 3 figure amount ( yet to be finalised) for The RDA at Scropton.
Thank you Eland Lodge for Having us the lasy 2 years, they are all brill and John helps us set up on the saturday, if you are unaware of how much effort goes into preparing a show then actually preparing it the day before, its not easy, belive me you can come and move some working hunter jumps if you want to test that !!!!
I hope you all had a great day despite the rain and hope to see youat the Xmas Show - Details now online.
We appricate any feedback and will leave it below for you to see -
