What a fantastic day. Took me back 50 years. !!
So wonderful to see children enjoying ponies, in a relaxed fun way. 1st step towards Hoys. !!! If you know, you know.
Amazing support team. Sophie Miles. Best organiser. Sophie Blair. No 1 first aider . Janet Lickiss and Sam’s Top judges.
Ness Nichols , Paul and Alice for top stewards and Faye , Evie and Phoebe for being all round good eggs.
We raised £350 for the school to have a fun day on July 20th at Cheselbourne Manor.
I am leaning towards more gymkhanas at Pleck.
