Little Downham (1) Programme

Childeric Saddles Little Downham Horse Trials 3rd - 5th June 2022

WELCOME Welcome to Little Downham Horse Trials where we are celebrating our 21st Anniversary during the Bank Holiday celebrations for the Queens Platinum Jubilee.

There have been so many changes during the 21-years, pandemics, financial crisis, additions of new levels of eventing, and for Little Downham a re-jigging of the site and the addition of many new classes, including our September CCI4*S. I wish to THANK YOU sincerely for making your entry to this fixture despite the difficult times affecting everyone. We came through the Covid-19 period well, and now we must traverse the troubled financial situation that is affecting the global economy at present.

Sadly we are running this time without one of our most valued, and much loved, volunteers Rachel Morgan who very sadly passed away last week, following a short battle with illness. Rachel, along with her partner Don Phillips, has been a regular fence judge at Little Downham for many years, initially with their gorgeous dog (who under the old regime we had to smuggle in!) and we will all miss seeing her cheerful greeting on arrival and the observant feedback she could give me about how the fences they were judging were riding.

Wishing everyone the very best of luck this weekend.
