Fleur is voted the best after Butch.

Poor old Butch is still lame and on rest.We visited him in the stables where he looked sad at not coming with us,well that's what we think.

Pam decided to take the chance of choosing Fleur a new horse on the block.She felt nervous at first even though every one said she was good,you never really believe them.Anyhow we saddled, up me on Misty who was already muddy and was to get more muddy as time went on.I have to say Fleur behaved so well,bikers,walkers,dogs barking and scary paper bags nothing phased her at all.

We had a good ride and good canters ,Fleur disappeared out of sight and me and Misty did a fast trot to slow canter to catch up!

We enjoyed today but missed our pal Butch,get well soon Butch.

Today we arrived in mist and rain.Chris arrived to join us out on a hack.The weather did not look promising but once in the saddle you do not care.

we took the root to the river which was running slower than last time.we took the route through the wood and saw two deer cross our path.we have not seen deer here for awhile as the loggers have disturbed .We went along the old mans trail and up to the first gate before we noticed that Butch had gone lame.Pam dismounted and walked back with him then changed with Chris while I held Butch.Back at the stables it did not look good so we left a note for tam.I hope he is alright,he is a very dear friend.
