The Annual Branch Meeting and Presentation Evening was held in January 2017, An evening to celebrate the 2016 ride season and all the achievements and successes of riders and their horses. It’s been a great season for our members at all levels and couldn’t have achieved this without the help of the ride organisers and all the volunteers who give their time and dedication to ensuring the rides take place. Thankyou.
We have a good number of rides already planned for 2017 and we hope to see you all there.
