Challenge 26 is on!

Just two more sleeps until The Arabian Challenge Show opens on Friday the 8th of May at 8am with our Dressage classes and continues through to Sunday the 10th of May.

This year the dressage will be held in Ring 2 of the indoor complex. Excellent entries in all classes will provide plenty to see and admire as our riders and their horses display their skills at following the intricate patterns demanded of each level. Our young riders start the programme before the adults take over.
