A visit to the Guernsey Group

October 12, 2023 jillf 0

Guernsey Trip September 2023

Theresa Drake and I had a lovely trip to the Guernsey Group on 27th September to do a couple of coach reviews and also some training. We even had time for a quick visit to Castle Cornet before the sessions started.

Everyone at the group made us feel really welcome and it was lovely to see so many volunteers enjoying the lessons with 4 wonderful ponies. We did some training on leading and it was great to see the volunteers and ponies working together in partnership with each other.

We also got to meet the wife of the Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, Louise Cripwell, who is a regular volunteer with the group.

Congratulations to Heidi Ephgrave and Liz Froome who both passed their reviews with flying colours and a very big thank you to Liz for ferrying us around and providing us with a wonderful lunch at her house.
