HVRC FUTURE EVENTS 2021

ALL EVENTS AND ARENA HIRE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

HVRC  MARCH  EVENTS  2021
The government roadmap states that the plan is for outdoor sport to resume from 29th March and BRC guidance has given the go-ahead for equestrian events to take place from that date. This will of course be dependant on the Coronavirus situation continuing to sufficiently improve, but all being well we are all looking forward to arena hire and clinics re-starting on the club field from 29th March.
