Said Liz Prest of KBIS British Equestrian Insurance: “it was a great day had by all last weekend, with the sun shining all day and the going on the course received much praise. We were delighted with the day and the running of the event went smoothly. It’s nice to see so many competition horses in action and win prizes. It was the British Riding Clubs first year at Aston-Le-Walls and, despite the recent heavy rain, the course and the setting were both getting great feed back from the competitors and the officials. A great atmosphere was brought to the day by the support of the local clubs and many local supporters, who were also on hand as usual to help fence judge or steward on the day.
