Monday 4th May 2026<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n

Nine members demonstrated their extensive knowledge and practical horsemanship skills at the Area 12 Horse and Pony Care Qualifiers today.<\/p>\n

Junior teams:
\n5th – Olivia, Emily and Christopher
\n8th – Belle, Maddie and Tilly<\/p>\n

Senior team:
\n1st – Amelia, Ella and Lucy<\/p>\n

It was the branches first time competing in this competition, and with 15 experienced teams in the junior section, we are delighted with the placings.<\/p>\n

Our senior team have qualified for National Championships at Offchurch Bury, which is just incredible.<\/p>\n

Sarah Buddin has trained teams that any horse or pony would be lucky to have these members caring for them.<\/p>\n

Thank you Teresa Wilks for giving up your bank holiday to volunteer.<\/p>\n
