Autumn horse and tack sales, guided rides and more…
The culmination of the showing calendar, the Horse of the Year Show, is in full swing. We hope all the competitors from Wales are having an amazing experience.
There will be a TV highlights show from HOYS on Channel 4, made by a Welsh TV production company, but this won't be for a couple of weeks. We'll keep an eye out and let you know when it airs.
