EQUESTRIAN - Sponsored by Froghill and Brickfields Race day to remember This year’s Isle of Wight Grand National & Ashey Scurry proved to be another exciting day to remember. The event ran exactly to plan – and even some dismal weather didn’t put off the spectators, who turned out in full force. And, despite there being a few fallers during the races, the good news was that there were no injuries to either horses or riders. As usual, David Biles carried out a grand job as commentator, whilst the dedicated ladies in the refreshments tent kept everybody suitably fed and watered with a great selection of home-cooked delights … most notably the coffee cake! Island Life has selected a few of the 300+ photos we took on the day. To see more, click on to our website, www. islandlifemagazine.net. 50 Island Life - www.islandlifemagazine.net
