Hi rj,
yes numbers are limited to 10. The course will have a hands on element eg discussing hoof assessments, looking for lameness in trot ups etc so we need to stick to a small group to ensure everyone gets a go.

Anglesey is a bit of a treck for me but this sounds great. Are there any plans to run the course anywhere else?
