Jennifer Marchant Riding Diary







The warning of gales and rain did not put us off our determination to hack out what ever.We set off in misty conditions, tracking down to the stream which was flowing fast.The cottages along here are lovely with paddocks and gardens to dream of.They have old ruins in some of them what they are I am not sure.

We canter up the slip path to the main bridle path ,here you can tell it is near the top as it is getting windier .We pass a couple of horse riders mad as us out in this storm. We head up old mans trail which we have not been on for ages as the path was dug up and messed by the loggers about a year ago.The game keeper is not about so were o.k. .The path is boggy and after a short canter we travel back towards the treasure trail.I get left behind sometimes because M is only short and the others are far head.We catch up and canter towards the treasure trail.


This is back in use as this was really torn up by the loggers.P had a fall here when she or rather B trip over a root exposed by the trailers.The wind picked up as we approached the stables and as we dismounted with soggy bottoms we were relived to see a patch of blue
