National Horse week visit to Camilla Paultons yard
We were very please to be invited to Camilla Paultons yard at Telscombe village on Saturday 17th September 2022 for National Horse week. Which was held up and down the country with many yards taking part, the events were held from 10th to the 18th.
The events were started by Richard Phillips in 2019 and have been growing year on year. The society, Crowd Racing, showed off some of their memorabilia Where we also had the pleasure of showing some of our memorabilia to the public that attended the event.
Camilla showed some of her horses in training, including horses training up the gallops and her daughter Eliza, who also manages the yard for her mum, gave a very informative speech on the running of the racing yard and welfare of the horses in training.
The event was very well attended. We were very thankful that the weather was in our favour, for everyone one to enjoy. We would like to thank everyone for their support, for Camilla and her Daughter Eliza on the day.
