The visitors enjoyed ridden demonstrations from Team BTRC plus special guests BTRC Loaners Fran and The Pinto Kid and Helen and Our Young Un.
Fantastic new BTRC Ambassador Charlotte Jones shared her story from Pony Club to Professional Jockey.

Danny Wallbank delivered a farrier demonstration, chatting with visitors about his work with the BTRC horses.

Delicious home made treats from the cake stall were enjoyed plus a sizzling BBQ thanks to Cornvale Fine Foods went down a treat! BTRC merchandise sold well with lots of new faces supporting the Charity and long time supporter, Finches had their beautiful items on sale. The British Horse Society volunteers Sue and Peter shared valuable information about their work.

Thanks to everyone’s support, we raised over £2,500 to continue our vital work caring for and retraining vulnerable horses.

It’s always great to get feedback and thanks to Delia who took the time out to send us an email following the event to say “Hello there, I attended the open day today and just wanted to say a massive thank you for such a good day. I was blown away by all the care and attention you put into looking after the horses that come into your care. The talks and demonstrations were really informative, and fun to listen to/watch. I hope you raised a good amount of money, you so deserve to!”

The event would not be able to go ahead, let alone be a success without our amazing volunteers and supporters:

Wendy, Sue, Peter, Richard, Eve, Roger, Glenys, Karen, Joanne, Lynne, Maria, Melissa, Julie, Poppy, Liam, Sophie-May, Sarah, Simon, Izzy, Pat, Trish and all those who baked tasty cakes for us!!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who volunteered, attended, donated, and supported the event. You’ve made a real difference!
