Wow, what an AMAZING Mini ODE we had at the RAC Saddle Club last weekend!
Over25 enthusiastic riders, aged from just five to 14, took part in this thrilling event! It was so inspiring to see partnerships tackling jumps from 30cm to 60cm, with many competing for the very first time! The atmosphere was electric, thanks to our incredible volunteer stewards and judges, along with the cheers from friends and family.
This was a fantastic introduction to eventing, and we were lucky to have a professional Dorset Event photographer capturing all the action! Huge thanks to everyone who sponsored the day, especially Dorchester Car Radios, Country Shoes Dorchester, Mr. and Mrs. King, and Busy Birds for the delicious catering! And to Abi, Lisa for organising!
