A big thank you to Carol Porter for organising our annual fun Christmas Dressage and Dressage to Music day. Everyone had a good time despite the weather doing it's best to dampen the day. Many of you came in your Christmas outfits and once finished riding came to the gallery to get a hot drink and refreshments.
