Pleasure Horse Ring 4 – starting approx. at 9:30am

Pleasure Horse means those animals who do not fit the mould of a Show Horse. We welcome any breed and colour. They should be an uncomplicated and genuine pleasure to ride. Whilst they do not possess the show quality conformation of a show horse, they should in their own way be a delight to ride, with impeccable manners. A “pleasure mount” is NOT an inexperienced mount with show quality conformation who is destined for the open show ring.
