Calvert Trust Exmoor has been chosen as the charity of the Devon County Show. This means that there will be a stand at the show where people can come along and find out all about what we do here, and how we help people with disabilities. Also the stables are sending along their very own representatives to the show to do two demonstrations every day in the Lady Clinton ring. The team have been practising hard for these demonstrations.

| Practising for the big day |
They took banners up to the top field one day last week and had a practice run with Hendrix. He is going to the show along with Nicky to stay for the whole three days. I am sure that will mean he gets to wear one of the new rugs!! He even gets his own stable at the show to sleep in overnight!
Our lovely new banners
Each day Hendrix, Nicky and different members of the stables and activity team will be showing how carriage driving is accessible for people in wheelchairs. The four wheeler carriage will be at the show for the demonstrations. This carriage and our two wheeled one are both fitted with removable seats and ramps for access with a wheelchair.
I am sure those of you who have been here and had a carriage drive will agree it is a great fun experience. Hendrix is really looking forward to going away to the show and I am sure he will do the team proud. Next time I blog I will update you on all the last minute preparations before they head off.
