WAR HORSE FEATURED IN HAMILTON LIBRARY

If you're in town between now and the 14th of November, do pop into the Library and check out the War Horse memorial which has been set up by our Patron Noeline Jeffries. A poignant reminder for us all of the service our horses (and other animals) have done in the past in many wars.

Thank you Noeline - it looks amazing!

IT'S NOT APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

Although April Fool's Day in nowhere in sight - I had a go at tricking you with the opening of the Ribbon Day entries on EvoEvents.

I thought I'd pushed the Enter button.

I had not.

I have now!

Sorry guys - it's all ready for entries now - no jokes!

Ribbon Day - 23 November ***JUST ADDED***JUST ADDED***

In a WEC first................................

Hobby Horse Dressage
AND
Hobby Horse Show Jumping

How cool is that?????

Having never done it before, I'm just putting together the dressage test and show jumping rounds plus rules etc. It's apparently quite big in Slovakia, so have some tests as a starter.

And FYI - there are penalties for your hobby horses' head falling off!! Who knew that was a thing?

So get those legs in training how, come up with a cool name for your "horse" and get ready. The event taking the world by storm is coming to WEC!!

It is very appreciated.

The horse trials was an amazing event and the prize givings are such a highlight for me.
