The Cwm Derwen Riding Club camp - 10 to 13 July 2007

Weather conditions were favourable for an enjoyable ride on the Preseli Mountains.

Graham Fowke of the Cotts Farm Veterinary Clinic gave an informative and very helpful talk during the evening.

The weather held for the "Combined Training" and "Turnout competition" the next day and through to the evening for the partying!! Starting with striking fancy dress, the BBQ was followed by Limbo dancing in the sand school and karaoke in the stables! Everyone had a lot of fun and two members were heard to comment that the earth moved - or at least their tents did!
