We're absolutely delighted to be bringing Hobby Horse Adventures to Bradwall Horse Trials for the very first time! 🎉💖
Set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, Bradwall Horse Trials is a much-loved family-run event with a friendly atmosphere, exciting equestrian competition and a fantastic day out for horse-loving families.
The Bradwall team are excited to welcome us for the weekend, and we're equally excited to introduce hobby horsing to their visitors and competitors. We love discovering new venues, and Bradwall feels like the perfect place for our hobby horse community to enjoy a relaxed, countryside horse trials atmosphere 🏇✨
