Barastoc HOTY 2008
Werribee Park NEC
Although competitors were keen to get back into the arena, signs that some still held concerns for their safety were evident from smaller numbers suffered in some classes.
The Barastoc Committee had kindly taken on running the APSB classes when the APSB were not in a position to do so and due to this situation it would have been unreasonable to think that the day would run without a hiccup.
But the weather was pleasant, the ponies immaculate and the grounds looked a treat.
