2021 Monthly Meetings

Wednesday 2nd April, 7pm
Long reining demonstration, Sarah Spencer-Williams We are finally able to run a physical event now that the Welsh Government has lifted travel restrictions, and enabled supervised sports events with up to 30 people to run again! Following on from the Sarah's lunging demonstration last September, she has agreed to do a similar session on long reining. This will be held outdoors with Sarah Spencer-Williams at Rocklea Farm, Broadstone, Trelleck, NP25 4QF. We will aim to start at 7pm to maximise the light available. This session is open to non-members. It is free for members and £5 for non-members. Please contact wyevalleyriding@gmail.com if you are interested. |
We are still unable to run face to face indoor riding club meetings .
WE WILL UPDATE MEMBERS WHEN FURTHER INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE IS ISSUED.
