"I just want to say a huge thank you to all the organisers and volunteers on Sunday. What an amazing event. The ground was perfect and the way was so well laid out with the flags that even I found it easy to follow. My horses brain was fried after joining the Warlingham mock hunt last year and I have to admit I lost my bottle afterwards and yet yesterday I was jumping for fun again! Can't thank you all enough and I'll see you all next year. Thank you." - Louisa (2018)

We really appreciate all of the marshalls who gave up their time voluntarily for us to have a wonderful day out and I apologise profusely to the few I did not thank as I sailed past enjoying myself so much I was lost in the moment.

"My daughter did your Sponsored Ride today and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. It also gave her confidence in her cross country riding." - Lauren (2015)

My horse, a Belgian Warm Blood 18 years old and 16:2 called Jimbo seemed to enjoy it. He was full of energy during the whole event. My friend and I had an amazing time. The countryside and views were astonishing and perfect weather made it a memorable occasion. I realise there was a great deal of hard work and effort put in to making this happen and it is very much appreciated. I am looking forward to 2016 and hope that I will be fortunate enough to take part again on this wonderful ride. Thank you again." - Annie (2015)
