Great day out at NCPA Cumbria despite the horrendous weather. Well done to the NCPA team for keeping everything running so smoothly.

First up, Oscar and Lilly Lancaster took 1st place in the Veteran Part-Bred TGCA Qualifier. What a day Oscar had — he is so special to all of us here at Belle Vue Stables. Well done, Lily, you rode brilliantly. Eleanor Lancaster
