Charlotte will put the riders through their paces whilst sharing some invaluable training tips and competition advice. Other competition at HOYS includes the unmissable Virbac 3D Worming Pony Club Mounted Games which takes place each day in the Andrews Bowen International Arena where the teams battle it out to win the coveted Prince Philip Cup.
