Hi Welcome to the first of the new Riding Diary Newsletters!
For this first issue, I asked the event organisers to tell me a little more about some of the events they have planned and the response was tremendous!
So for this week I have focussed on events taking place in April and the beginning of May.
I shall send another selection to you next week, including a fun ride through Windsor Park and an Authentic Cowboy Clinic and all sorts of equestrian events in between.
In the meantime there are thousands of events on the
Riding Diary website, perfect for planning Spring and Summer outings with your horse.
And so to this week's selection of events - enjoy! Jane
