SEIB/Horse and Hound Awards - in June we were delighted to be short listed for the SEIB/Horse and Hound Large Riding School of the Year Award. At this stage we had to make a short video of the yard and activities - (a big thank you to Duncan who very kindly helped us with this), send in a staff photo and copy of our logo. We felt very honoured to have progressed to this stage and although we have not now been named as finalists we are very proud of our achievements. Thank you to all of our Witham Villa Team of both staff and horses and of course all of our wonderful clients who make it all worthwhile.
