LOCAL group Moor Natural Horses (MNH) hosted a Natural Dressage day in aid of the charity Horseback UK which uses horses to rehabilitate injured service men and women.

Despite the initially wet conditions the brave souls (human and equine) that attended the dressage event were rewarded with a day of enthusiasm, achievement, fun, and eventually sunshine.

The three classes provided on-line, liberty and ridden tests of horsemanship that were enthusiastically taken. The interest displayed ensures that this will become an annual event. The turnout raised £125 for the charity.

MNH have so far raised £607 for Horseback UK (http://www.horseback.org.uk">www.horseback.org.uk) and hope to further raise awareness of the charity and sponsor a horse.
