Crossing Country

Some masterly combinations of horse and rider were seen in action at the Wills-Claridge event held at the Showgrounds on June 9 under the auspices of the N.Z. Horse Society (Gisborne Area). Easy conditions in the cross-country section provided plenty of interest for both participants and spectators.
