2nd Annual Horseman Sunday Service


Cllr Andy Mann attended the 2nd Havering-Atte-Bower Conservation Societies “Horseman’s Sunday Service” held on the village green last Sunday.

The event started with a parade of horses from across the various stables based in the Village, approx 50 where on display whilst an open air service was conducted by the Revd David Marshall of St Johns Church, with songs being sung and prayers said for the horses and for the residents of the village.

After the horses had all been presented with a rosette by the M.P for Romford and myself. A BBQ was kindly laid on by the Church and HABCOS, which some 100 plus people took advantage of in the glorious Autumn sun that came out especially for the day.

The whole event was fantastic and really brought out the best of the village, my thanks to Nicky Gates and Heather Sherry (who are the Chairman and Secretary) and their team of helpers for putting the event together, I very much look forward to the 3rd annual service, next year.
