I competed Salvation in the Veteran Championships at Vale View. We presented Preliminary Test 17A in the 20 years and over class. The scene was set for a fun day with a very civilised 2.17 test time. Humpty was relaxed and happy hanging out with his friends whilst he was prepared. Sarah made him...
