It was the club’s second last rally for the year, with a fun-filled day of instruction on flat riding, sporting and water games, which proved popular in the summer temperatures.
Chief instructor Guy Thomas travelled from Scone to assess riders at the rally on the skills and knowledge they had gained and developed throughout the year. If they were successful, they received certificates.
December will be the club’s last rally day for the year and also the club Christmas party, with children and horses alike to dress in festive costumes.
