I would like to thank, in particular, Maddie Wetherall (nee Week) for photographs, history and a personal account of The Olympic games in 1952. Stephen Robertson, Tony Carden and John Baker (Tony Collings step-nephew)for their memories and remembered experiences associated with their connection with Porlock Vale Riding School. Penny Hogg and Liz O'Keeffe, among many others, for providing me with a lot more history, stories, photographs and help, in confirming or otherwise, my own memories!
The book is dedicated to my Parents Jack and Doreen Peck and my brother Tony - who are no longer with me - but have left me the most treasured memories of an idyllic 8 years spent together at Porlock Vale Riding School.
New pages and photos, including an index page have been added.
**This year is the Diamond Jubilee of The Horse of the Year Show and without Tony Collings, Mike Ansell and Harry Llewelyn we might not have the best show in the world...**
John Lassetter will be holding a clinic at Lower Stockland Livery and Competition Yard near Cardiff on 21st March 2009. If anyone is interested in more information or having their name added to the list please email me.
