Thank you to everyone who braved the cold to watch our Winter demo which took place on Saturday 13th February. We had over 200 people attending and it was a very successful night.
On the 15th February we held the British Dressage Young Professional award 2010. 5 young riders took part in a grueling day judged by Carl Hester and Nicola Jourdain. Theresa Smyth won first place and scooped the £4,000 prize money. Theresa used to be a student at Talland and trained with Pammy so it was a great day for Talland.
It has been confirmed that Talland will held next year's BD Young Professional Award again. Date to be confirmed. Check the British Dressage website for details and how to apply.
Jessica Blackmore who trains with Pammy, Justine and Richard has been given permission by the Australian Equestrian Federation to represent Australia at international dressage events in Junior Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) tests. Well done Jess. See our website for more details.
