Fresh Breeze in the Valleys

Unfazed by her broken bone Alison proceeded with purchasing her new horse Breeze.

Over the last few weeks Alison and her friend Wendy have travelled to all corners of Wales (well witin a 40 mile circumference and with the help of their friend tomtom) to view horses of varying temperament and size (all advertised as friendly and 15hh). Eventually after test riding a number of frizky steeds, we discovered Cwmceffyl Autumn Breeze. Chestnut gelding, rising 6, he is the most friendly of horses and a nice ride too. In the short term whilst Alison heals, wendy is foster mum to Breeze and he is getting plenty of offers to be ridden, so is under no illusions that he's on holiday. All the mares seem to have taken to him and there have been a few tails raised in the field. Alison is managing to groom with her one arm and Breeze has taken to thanking her with a reciprocal lick!

Armless!

Bad news, Alison broke her collarbone at riding club camp.

A weekend of riding was planned in Mid Wales with friends but broken short for Alison when Kitty decided an indoor arena was a great place for a gallop!

Alison was in shock when told she would be unable to drive for 3 weeks! but after a few days it transpired that the medics were breaking the extent of her disability to her gently and she would not be behind the wheel or in the saddle for 3 months!

A fab time was had by the rest of the riding club who made the most of the weekend.

Feb half term 08

We spent this half term down in Devon. We all had a fab time and the weather was superb, so warm in fact that the kids were in their bikinis on the beach. it was great to see Fe, Rowan and Iona and since our return home Constance is telling everyone about the beach, sand, and getting wet!
