We were saddened to get the news recently that former Foxborough Member Johnny Hamilton has passed away.

Johnny was the father of another former member Linda Hamilton.

Together with Betty he was a trojan helper of Foxborough RC in days gone by.

Our thoughts are very much with his family at this time. May he rest in peace.

This is the showpiece for the Equitation Classes at our show on Saturday.
The class format will run as per a regular showing class, everyone will be asked to walk, trot and canter as a group on each rein (extension optional for P1 and P2). Competitors will then line up and ride the showpiece one by one which will be scored by the judge.
Turnout as you would for your horse/ponies type for a regular showing class.
Remember points are awarded for riders accuracy, use of aids, position etc.
