    ‘ 2007 Series a big success!’

    Just some of the comments from riders to date....

    Just to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Grasshoppers at Norton Heath today. It was a great privilege to be taught by 2 such respected trainers. Thank you and the team for the opportunity. I am looking forward to putting it all into practise.

    Just a quick e-mail to thank all of the team for a well organized and highly enjoyable day. It was my first experience of this event, I found it an excellent learning experience for both my young horse and me.
    My only gripe would be that I have to wait until next year to do it again!!!

    Just a quick note to thank you and the team for a lovely day on Wednesday. It was great fun, very friendly and a superb training event.
    I know the enormous work that goes into running one of these events and your organisation was wonderful.
