Huge thank you to Lesley Jacobson for an extremely informative arena craft session held this morning. Participants including those riding and the spectators were all fully engaged and asking questions. Then we had the added bonus of Helen guiding through us through a set of movements that we rode individually. A wonderful learning opportunity had by all. ļæ¼ Thank you to Helen and Lesley and the committee for pulling it together.
