An extra special mention to those competitors taking home more than one red rosette in February and March, Anita Doherty, Jill Hobson and Laura King.

With Dengie Pony Club qualifiers in February and RDA Practice Tests in March, on top of the regular classes, Laurel View’s judges have had a wide variety of tests to assess. Grateful thanks is extended to Ivor Harper, Alison Mastin-Moore, Angelene Nicholson, Jacky Reid and Mark Robinson for lending their time and expertise to the competitions.
