Novice and advanced horses, ridden by Leslie, and up-and-coming young event riders Chris King and Kylie Roddy, will be used as “guinea pigs” throughout the evening, with Mark demonstrating his techniques from the ground and in the saddle.
Visitors to the event will also be invited to ask Mark, Ginny and Leslie for their solutions to eventing problems during a question and answer session.
