Once again the heavens opened on the riders attending our first dressage competition of 2024 at Belmoredean. Everyone still seemed very happy to go home with a rosette, especially some that were out for the first time on a new horse.
Many thanks to the volunteers, Susie Chasmar got soaked stewarding first thing but the rain had stopped for Susannah Givons who was the later steward. Sarah Gibbs stayed dry too writing for the judge Tiff Tasney.
