Description: My wife Ange (Epona) and my mother-in-law Jean showing off our trophies. I say ours, because I showed the horse in the ring but Angie did all the background work of getting the horse ready, bathing and plaiting him etc. We won the year end Championships for the Best Turned Out, the Best Local Horse and the best Coloured /Spottied or Palomino. The presentation night was held at Crewe Hall.
