ORGANISERS of this year's Skipton Horse Trials are appealing for volunteer helpers.

Part one of Craven's mini Badminton is due to be held over the last weekend in June at Heslaker Farm, off the A59 between Skipton and Broughton.

Over the two days, riders from both near and far, will compete in the three disciplines, dressage, cross country and showjumping.

And organisers are appealing for people to step forward and help as dressage stewards, writers and runners, and also to help direct people to the car park.

An exciting spectacle for all, and not just the horsey, there will also be a number of trade stands and refreshments.

Volunteers, who are well looked after, with training and refreshments, will also be needed for part two of the event, in the first weekend of August.

Anyone able to volunteer, should email volunteer@skiptonhorsetrials.co.uk
