Tall Trees Fun

Tall Trees arena had great fun over the Christmas holidays. Their Christmas jumping show was a huge success with nearly all the riders turning out in fancy dress. Father Christmas, Little Elves, Pixies and Angels all entered. Jumps in the 10 years and under class were at 1ft 3inches and lots of Santa's little helpers were allowed in the ring to offer encouragement to the youngsters, many competing for the first time.

At the BSJA show held between Christmas and New Year teenager Zoe Andrew had a good win on Riverside Snapdragon in the Discovery ahead of Harriet Dance on Dixie Moon. Local rider Claire Daniels from Tintagel won the Top Score on Bodrigan and then went on to win the next class 1.15metre
