It is only a short six week league this Spring, so don’t miss out on getting in on the action and to start clocking up points on the league scoreboard.

Looking back, the first Sunday in January saw the Laurel View indoors spring into life after the holiday period

With very strong competition in most of the classes, as competitors aimed to keep the hooves away from the poles to score a double clear and a couple of pounds cashback. This made for a bright and positive start to the 2019 Laurel View Competition Calendar.

Again this year the 70cm class was a qualifier for the Pony Club Area 17, 12 and under competition, while the 80cm and 90cm provided a qualifying opportunity for the Dengie Debut and Winter League Area competitions respectively. All the best to those that earned their qualification at the Laurel View leg and here’s hoping things go well at the Area final.
