Flamstead Hunter Trials

What an amazing time we had at the Hunter Trials on Sunday! Karen, Paul, Sarah and I would like to extend a huge thank you to the vast number of people who helped us set up and the army of volunteers on the day…too many to mention in person, but a special thank you has to go to Georgie D, whose vision and graft transformed the XC course, with its fabulous new jumps thanks to Rosie and her 50 auction. To Phil J for the countless hours fixing, building and mending; Kate and the Aylwards dressing and flagging; and to our Queen of Roping & Brownies, Nic M…it was a real team effort, and we hope everyone involved is really proud of our marvellous facility.
