Sunday saw Wesburn Park host it’s first ever EA competition, with Melba Equestrian Club’s first Dressage competition.
The weather gods smiled and it was fantastic to see both local and riders from further afield coming together in such a beautiful setting. Travel costs, registrations and general upkeep are now making things so much harder for competitors to keep up with, it was a great day out, for many, closer to home and very reasonably priced.
Reports were glowing on all aspects of the event and facilities, congratulations to Melba EC for running a brilliant event in our Valley.
