Ascot Afternoon Tea - July 2024
It's the Group's 50th anniversary and we celebrated in style at the On5 Restaurant at Ascot Racecourse. We had a delicious afternoon tea and the Ascot 'Bowler Hats' took us on a tour of the grandstand and around. Sarah D made the fabulous table decorations and Sarah C made 'Golden Horseshoe' gifts for all the participants and Brigid, our President. Everyone dressed up for the occasion - we hardly recognised each other! Thanks so much to Ascot Racecourse for hosting us and giving us such a great afternoon.
Major - March 2024
It is with great sadness that we bring you the news of the passing of our lovely retired driving pony Major at the grand old age of 29. He was a wonderful pony who helped so many people learn to drive. He retired four years ago to The Horse Trust where he loved nothing more than being out in the field lounging around.
Christmas Drive - November 2023
The group held a combined Tinsel Drive and Christmas Party this year. Blue and Sweet Pea were both on reindeer duties this year pulling sleighs for Father Christmas, Mother Christmas and their elves!
Home Park Picnic - August 2023
We had a picnic lunch at The Royal Household Cricket Club, Windsor Castle - thanks so much to them for hosting us. The ponies enjoyed their lunch too!
Home Park - August 2023
We had a brilliant day on our annual visit to Windsor Home Park. The sun shone and we had nine lovely drives around the grounds. Thanks to all our volunteers who worked really hard.
Driving has started - March 2023
We've started carriage driving again after the winter break. Great to see some of our participants again who all enjoyed their first drive of the season, despite the chilly conditions.
