It was lovely to have a record fourteen drivers taking part in the exciting indoor driving trials event at Llwynon Saddlery on February 17th and to welcome three new drivers and ponies for their first indoor competition. A special well done to Christine Evans with Smartie , and Maureen and Lauren lloyd Bainbridge with Chaffinch. As well as being enjoyable , especially as there was glorious sunshine, as always there was great competition ..... especially in the Open classes...
