Equestrian Artist SALLY MARTIN held a painting challenge where she painted a painting each day and sold it on line at a reduced rate and donated £800 to the Foundation plus a lovely painting for us to auction at the Ball. Sally has been a wonderful support to us over the years and we are very grateful to have such a talented Artist supporting us. Thank you Sally!
