Marden and District Riding Club team members and individuals, some representing the club for the first time, enjoyed great success and came home with most of the trophies after travelling to Gracelands Equestrian Centre to contest an event hosted by Wyre Forest PC.

A huge turnout saw classes with 20 plus teams taking part. Despite being a long day - a 6am Wednesday start and 1am Thursday finish for some - spirits were high and a great atmosphere was created by parents, friends and supporters who all helped encourage the young Herefordshire riders to produce such excellent results.
