PAH Spring 2025 Hunter Pace Follow-Up
Thank you to all of the volunteers and riders who joined Princess Anne Hunt for an enjoyable day of riding and competition at the PAH kennels. Special thanks go out to Martyn Blackmore for the incredible course and exceptional marking and to Sue Blackmore for a peaceful and refreshing midway rest stop. Without the help of our many volunteers, the day would not have run so smoothly.
