Busy weekend ahead for AGA with 79 points up for grabs

There are 3 AGA Ladies Open races this weekend that are qualifiers for our final at Cheltenham in May, and the first of them takes place at the Duke of Beaufort's meeting at Didmarton on Saturday. Then on Sunday we have the Derwent meeting at Charm Park, and the Chiddingfold, Leconfield and Cowdray meeting at Tweseldown. To add to this we also have a ladies race at the Ross Harriers meeting at Garnons on Sunday where points will be available for the AGA Total Control Lady Riders' Championship.

This was one of the 22 Ladies Open races that we are not sponsoring, however, these 22 races give the riders the opportunity to earn points for the AGA Total Control Lady Riders' Championship. Not only do they earn points, but each rider who takes part is given a £25 AGA gift voucher, with the winner receiving vouchers to the value of £125!

There were 12 entries and 10 stood their ground to give us a great race which was won by Luci Sutcliffe on Minstalad, in the process earning Luci her first AGA points of the season. Jacqueline Coward picked up an extra 4 points to take her to 20, only 6 points off the lead, while Gemma Tutty and Andrea Taylor also picked up their first points of the season.

Comfortable success for Chesnut Annie as AGA go to Wales and the sun shines on Howick

The welcome was as warm as the early spring sunshine for our first visit to Wales this season and it was very much appreciated. The going was perfect, the AGA branding looked resplendent, and there was just time for a quick visit to the sponsors tent before the action was underway.
