The Talland Riding for Disabled Association volunteers come to Talland every Tuesday with their riders and helpers. On May 25th, they held a special ceremony to celebrate 45 years of a great partnership with Talland. A plaque was given to Mrs Molly Sivewright to mark this special anniversary.
The Cotswold Show asked Pammy and her team to participate in a demo.
Charlie Hutton and Justine Sole went on Saturday and Charlie Hutton and Jessica Blackmore on Sunday. Pammy was in charge of the running commentary whilst they shown the audience dressage with music, half passes and various other advanced movements. Even with the wind, a lot of flags flapping around the arena, balloons popping and flying up in the sky, none of the horses seemed to be phased and provided a great demo for the audience.
