A gathering of likeminded folk and a celebration of the work we do whilst raising vital funds for the Charity. Without the support of the local community HAPPA would seize to exist. I appeal to everyone to get involved in what the day has to offer, immerse yourselves in the happiness horses can bring and enjoy the activities at the same time. We hope to see you all there.”
