International showjumper and former Avondale member Edwina Alexander came back to share her amazing experiences with us. Edwina told us about her horses, chatted to members, answered many questions and presented awards. Thanks to Simon Reeve we have a wonderful film record of this visit, professionally edited onto DVD and reproduced by Furdography.

These DVDs are available for sale as a club fundraiser. Contact Brenda Tripp on 0419 378 542
