But it will be remembered best as the evening when Mick was reunited with Angel. The pair flew around the course with energyContinue reading “Knock-out reappearance from Mick and Angel”

From strimming to swimming — a colourful weekend in the life of the club
So you thought a riding club was for riding? Well, of course it is, but that doesn’t stop us doing other things as well. Mary Finneran’s Friday evening classes were over-booked and hugely popular.

Millers Hill joins the list of weather casualties
Robert McCrum has very reluctantly made the call to cancel our weekend at Millers Hill. The ground is so wet that all his own stock has had to be taken in from the fields, leaving no room for visiting horses. Can everybody have a think about whether they would like to reschedule for a coupleContinue reading “Millers Hill joins the list of weather casualties”
