Thank you for making the trip from the Isle of Wight! Hardy's must be one of your more local rides despite having to take a ferry to get here! Maybe we should all take a leaf out of their book and take the ferry to the Ride the Wight ride next year? 🤔 We're glad you had a great day and enjoyed the views! 🌊

Thank you for coming! Glad you enjoyed it and well done to Claire and Missy for winning the PF in the 45km Novice, and for Zara and Mister succeeding by doing a vetgate for their third ever ride together! 🎉

We had a great turn-out for the "Try a vetgate" classes, with more graded riders doing a vetgate than not!

Thank you for making the trip, a shame it wasn't your day for one of your horses but we are glad to hear you enjoyed it and the new route is the "Best Hardy's route by far" 😀

Winner of the 80k class at Hardys ride yesterday : Jessie Lethbridge and MountEdgcumbe Velveteen: horse and rider looked so good at the end. Thank you to all the competitors : it was lovely to see so many smiley faces. Thank you also to the small army of volunteers and professionals needed to make this happen. You made the day very easy for me. Particular thanks to Max, Dave and Amber for all the help before and on the day with all the endless deliberations about the route and the trot up area was amazing with Dave's immaculate mowing. Xx Liz
