Please note, duty days were suspended during the covid pandemic to support social distancing. We have relied on the committee and keen volunteers to run competitions throughout this time however in order to ensure we can continue offering as many competitions without over-burdening those few people, we are re-introducing duties.

We ask that each member help for half an hour before or after they ride and times will be allocated that allow sufficient time to warm up/put horse away etc. You will be asked to state your preference for helping before or after competing when you enter. Volunteers to support competitions are very much welcomed – contact Alison if you’d like to help.
