Pony Racing - Thank You 

 

A big thank you to Mr & Mrs AD Kent, their small army of helpers and those from the Hunt who put in so much effort to make the Moonlight Pony Racing at Warleigh Barton such a success on Saturday 21 August.  The thick mist made the event very murky but didn't dampen the spirits.

 

Pledge in Advance

 

The Hunt is offering a 'Pledge in Advance' to buy the costs of printing the Catalogue for the Pledges Night, the annual major fundraising event, which is being held on 19th November.  The purchaser (sponsor) will get in return the opportunity to advertise on the catalogue cover and abundant thanks. (Just the pledge for you if you are unable to be there on the night)
