South Devon Moorland Pony Club Open Hunter Trial
South Devon Hunt (Moorland)
After much deliberation and consideration of the weather forecast we have decided to POSTPONE Sunday’s Hunter Trial. This is not so much because of the going for horse and rider but the practicalities of parking lorries, vehicles and trailers on sodden ground and access for the ambulance and jump judges.
We propose to hold the same event, same classes etc on SATURDAY 4th May. You may carry forward your entry to this date – no need to do anything- or cancel your entry.
