The horse riders have had a busy term. Many after-school sessions with Miss Andrews have been enjoyed by those children lucky enough to have their own ponies. Highlights of the term include going to the Stonar Inter-school ODE, the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale PC JAS (Jumping And Style) competition, cross-country schooling at Toomer Farm and a fun day at Sparkford to finish off the term.
