Club News – September & October 2008

Summer is over, what Summer I hear you all cry! At least we had the Olympics this year to inspire us, especially the Event Team and Tina Cook. Personally, I’m trying to be Dressage Star Emma Hindle, although I’m not sure Norman is on the same wavelength!

I don’t know about you but I think there is definitely a nip in the air though – I’m off to hunt out the rugs… As usual here’s the list of clinics and events for the next 2 months:
