They usually announce it on their fb group mid Jan but there was talk on the grampian SERC page so it does sound like it is coming back which is great. https://www.facebook.com/groups/21000435334

As an example class 2 started their ridden work in week 5 with doing max 10km over a maximum of 2 rides and a speed of between 5-7km.
By the end of the ridden 4 weeks this was increased to 15km over a maximum of 3 rides at a speed between 6-10km.
 
Welsh C will be 23,no health issues apart from a bit of hock arthritis. Ridden around 3 times a week, mostly hacking with some schooling and the odd little jump.
Welsh D will be 20, has Cushings. Had laminitis about 8 years ago with his previous owner so managed carefully. Seems older than my other horse in some ways. Gets anxious hacking out alone which affects the work we can do. Ridden or long reined usually 3 times a week.
 
Coblet will be 24, now retired after long hard life in RS (not by me) Has every cob ailment in the book plus a few extra, but is enjoying a well earned life of pampering and care.
O/H's NF will be 5, no health issues just a bad attack of the Kevins which are being dealt with 🙈 🤣 Hacking, lots of hacking & groundwork.
My NF will be 4, no health issues🤞🙏 lots of groundwork in preparation for spring breaking to harness and some in hand showing for experience.
 
1. 26 - now semi retired and just enjoys light hacking a couple of times per week. I’ve had him 20 years, he does have arthritis in his hocks and probably other joints too which is understandable at his age but I’ve seen big improvements in stiffness with giving him a course of osteopen injections.

2. 17, but with low mileage - she was a field ornament in Cornwall until she was 14 when we got her but really enjoys being ridden now and she’s come on really well and does a bit of everything at a low level but does have quite a bit of talent on the flat.

3. 12 - current field ornament/doing groundwork rehab. Can take or leave being ridden, had stifle issues as a youngster and damaged a ligament in a foreleg last year and then tweaked in again in the summer.
 
36 years, retired and in good shape. Owned him since he was 9.
PPID controlled well with 1 Pergoquin. Has 1 Equioxx a day.
I have a mare on loan as his companion. She is an absolute Angel.
They are devoted to each other.
 
19 - Semi retired Connemara. Now just jack's primarily.

6 - Lightly backed, has some health challenges I'm trying to resolve before doing more.

5 - In light ridden work, which will hopefully step up through this year.
