A MUSICAL 'ballet' on horseback is to be performed in Herefordshire to support horse welfare later this month.

The 'dressage divas' are set to take part in a demonstration to music accompanied by a commentary to show off the disciplines, power and control needed to undertake the sport.

The one-off fundraiser in aid of the International League for the Protection of Horses will take place at Caradoc, Sellack near Ross-on-Wye on February 29 from 12 noon.

Featured will be Kate Butling riding at advanced level, Lucinda Darling at medium, and Hilary Fordyce at elementary along with Pony Club members, Alice Hurley and Sarah Manning.
