Well it’s that time of year again and I am always proud to support and sponsor our local event. Having been a volunteer and then an organiser from when the horse trials started over 25 years ago, until retiring a couple of years ago, it is great to have such a well attended equine event on the doorstep.
Affiliated to British Eventing the horse trials take place twice a year in June and August. Situated on the outskirts of Skipton, on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border, the event is one of the largest of it’s kind with over 500 competitors taking part over the weekend. There are three phases to an event or horse trials all requiring different skills from horse & rider:
Visitors will find a variety of trade stands including a food area, all making it a great venue for a day out.
