Riders jump into the new summer season at Fourwinds Equestrian Centre

Fourwinds Equestrian Centre’s summer season is up and galloping.

The Leaves Lake Drove based organisation hold regular competitions including offering competitors who don’t own horses to hire them and compete alongside those who do.

Ginny Gray was on fine form, winning both the 60cm and 70cm categories on her horse Matrix.
