Llertta Chanel (Horeb Rocky Rees x Tireve Jewel), Welsh Driving Champion

Tuesday afternoon saw the Welsh Driving Classes.  I managed to catch all the sections for this event.  I didn't come away feeling quite as awestruck as last year, but that is not to say that there weren't some really impressive animals.  The final class (Welsh Cob Mare or Gelding) had some of the strongest entries of the day, with the Thorneyside Trophy, WPCS Performance Medal & Championship Rosette going to the 11 year old mare Llertta Chanel, with the reserve also coming from the same class, the 1992 gelding Cefngelli Bouncer. 

Judge: Mr JB Halstead, Ystrad Meurig
