Leaving the Yard........ (L to R: Isla Imray & Rosso, Jennifer Osborne & Linford, Morven Imray & Titan, Anne Casson & Fergus)

The Annual Gymkhana was held on 5th September. For once we had superb weather ensuring that all the competitors, spectators & helpers had a great day! Special thanks go to Keith Moir for all his help with the tedious tasks of moving and unloading innumerable jumps trailers and also for designing some super jumping courses!
