Horse enthusiasts and families are invited to a Christmas Equine Gala next month at a brand new equine centre in Somerton, Somerset.
RSPCA South East Somerset branch will host an evening of festive fun next month (2 December) at the brand new World Horse Welfare Glenda Spooner Farm Visitor Centre in Kingsdon.
From exciting riding displays, Christmas shopping stalls and festive food in the cafe, the event, organised by the RSPCA South East Somerset branch, will be the perfect way for horse-lovers to get into the Christmas spirit.
Riding displays to excite the audience will include pony club games from Wylye Pony Club, dressage to music with Charlotte Crocker-Westlake, carriage driving with Anya Walker and a nail-biting puissance finale.
RSPCA inspector Marie Griffiths said: “We can’t wait to welcome horse lovers and families to our special Christmas event, it’s going to be a really fun evening with lots to watch and enjoy, from mulled wine in the cafe to Christmas gift stands, a variety of general trade stands, and of course, the riding displays. This is the first event of its kind that we’ve organised to fundraise especially for the horses in our area so we really hope people will come along and support it.
“It will be a great festive evening out for people to pop in the diary and then come along and have some fun, buy a few stocking-fillers for friends and family and really get into the spirit of things.
“I’d like to say a massive thank you to Claire Phillips and the staff and volunteers at World Horse Welfare for allowing us to host the first event in their beautiful new centre. All the proceeds will be going towards securing the welfare needs of horses from right here in Somerset.”
World Horse Welfare Glenda Spooner Farm Centre Manager Claire Phillips said: “We’re delighted that our new facilities can be put to such great use for an event like this. We look forward to welcoming many people for a festive celebration like no other!”
Tickets are just £12 for adults and £5 per child under 14 years, and tickets include a glass of mulled wine (or soft drink) and a mince pie.
