 Yesterday the Display Team was lucky enough to pay a visit to our friends at Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal. We took nine riders over to the Bristol Children's Hospital where we were able to present the Grand Appeal with the money we have raised this year. This year was a record breaking year as we managed to raise £1200 in just ten weeks. All the jockeys should be really proud of themselves, as should their parents. Most of all we owe a lot of the success this year to our wonderful ponies! Thank you to Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal for having us. By Isabella Bride
