As you already know, our blogs are always interesting, but it's I week, so I'm starting as I mean to go on!
ITV
On Wednesday this week we were excited to welcome a team from ITV who wanted to film a day in the life of the Centre! The spent time on the yard, chatted to the vets, spent time with the Shetlands and watched some RDA lessons. The programme will be broadcast on ITVX, and we will share as soon as we know when it's live!
International
This week also saw our annual Christmas Around the World celebration, welcoming people from the local community to our Horseback Nativity and sing along. It's always a lovely evening with hot drinks and mince pies. A great way to close off the year! Thank you to everyone who came and made the evening so enjoyable.
Important
All of RDA Term 3 and ARC December lessons are live on EC Pro. Make sure you book your space in good time. The next couple of weeks the office will be covered by a skeleton staff (we've all been on diets ready for Christmas dinner) so make sure you do your booking in good time to get any support you might need.
Impressive
