What a brilliant weekend we had at over the May Day Weekend as we welcomed a fantastic turnout of riders and spectators at our latest show! From start to finish, the atmosphere was positive, with great competition in every class and a real sense of community throughout the grounds.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who made the weekend possible. To our hard-working team of volunteers and staff—your effort and dedication behind the scenes never go unnoticed. A special thank you also goes to all our spectators and competitors who turned up, your support means the world to us.

While we’re still undergoing some building work to bring our indoor arena back into action, we’re pleased to report that progress is going well, and we’re hopeful it will be up and running again very soon. Thank you all for your patience and understanding while we work to make the facility even better for the future.

We are incredibly grateful to Bluegrass Horse Feeds for sponsoring the show—your ongoing support mis hugely appreciated. And a special shout-out to Lee Johnston, who generously sponsored the 1.20m Championship Final—thank you, Lee.
