Area 10 Horse Trials Qualifier - Matfield 14 July
After 2 weeks of
non-stop rain the sun came out for the Horse Trials qualifier, and Ardingly

prepared and presented a fair challenge with a couple of ‘bogey’ fences to
keep everyone on their toes, the show jumping course also causing a fair
amount of problems. Ardingly sent
