Galston Equestrian Club - So many varied activities!
Our Members Only Dressage Comp on 25th Feb broke the drought. We did a rain dance on the dressage arenas and the drizzle started during the last classes for the day, and by the time we packed up we had proper rain. We had 44 happy members doing 78 tests. Congratulations to Anne-Katrin Liebe on Salukah (pictured) who won the amazing prize of an initial –plus- follow -up consultation from Equine Euphoria Massage Therapy for the highest point score in the Prelim to Elem classes. Thank you to our regular sponsors Horseland Dural and Coprice Feeds for the prizes. We had many wonderful volunteers who made the day a great success, and thank you to the judges (Pam Dalrymple, Sue Birch and Tori McBeath), some of whom travelled a long way to attend, and Peter Turner, who both rode and judged!
Training day on 11th March with Anne-Katrin Liebe instructing cavaletti and Celeste Amezdroz teaching flatwork was very well supported and the feedback on the lessons was extremely positive! Everyone enjoyed themselves and had many new ideas to work on.
