Bella of the Ball.
Our lovely shetland pony Bella was treated to a day out at the Equine Essentials Open Day at their store in Gerrards Cross. She enjoyed being the centre of attention, receiving lots of cuddles and posing for photos with her adoring fans. We are hoping all this fuss isn't going to our little diva's head, she even took some of our Pony Club members down as her entourage. Bella turned on the charm and won the hearts of the people from NAF, she can be seen here strutting her stuff in their ice cool clay. Thanks to the lovely people from NAF who sent her home with some lovely treats for all her friends back at the yard...

So another Party in the Paddock is over and it is time for us to say some thanks!
To start off with a HUGE HUGE thank you to Steve's Transport for being our knights in shining armour and stepping in at the eleventh hour after we were let down, with a trailer for our music stage. Steve's WE LOVE YOU!
A big shout out needs to go out to everyone who played on the paddock stage through out the afternoon. So Thank you to the hugely talented Stewart Hyde, Ashley James Webber, 2ToneRed, Maisie Mae and Tyler John Moore.
We are eternally grateful to Jeremy and Charley Poulter for all the hard work they put into the sound systems for the day.
Another big thank you to all the stall holders who came and stayed with us despite the heavy downpour at the beginning of the afternoon.
A big thanks to Cippenham dog agility club for organising their own competition, which as always was spectacular.
Our dear friend Rob Waine and the wonderful Sanssouci for their demonstration and Q & A session.
Jim Copeland of the North London Horseball Club for showing our instructors a thing or two!
All our Pony Club members and Young Equestrians for their demonstrations.
But of course the biggest thank you goes out to our team of volunteers, without them it would be impossible to organise such an event.
