27th June- Sleepover and Early Morning Ride

7/27/2008

0 Comments

 

As the last few days have been very warm the suggestion was made on Saturday that the Sunday riders should sleep over down the field (with George and the two dogs for protection ). This seemed like a great idea and so having stopped off at tescos to buy food Lauren, Kezzia, Jade and Jasmine got ready to sleep the night. Unfortunately it was too hot in the caravan without the doors open but with the doors open there was always the danger that the foxes, which could be heard very clearly in the top field, might enter the caravan! This however was highly unlikely because of the presence a chattering group of people and two dogs but it was still a concern for some. this concern was soon forgotten as the doors were open and we got the benefit of a lovely cool draft through the caravan. Having woken up in the morning and mucked out the ponies at the home field we went for a ride out in rowney green which ended up being about two hours long. Lauren rode Merlin, Jade rode Bess, George rode Buster,Jasmine rode Belle and Kezzia rode Indy. All the horses behaved well. When we got back there was more hay to move but the sunday riders were very lucky and ended the day in the swimming pool at solihul.

26th June- Hay Day

7/27/2008

Sorry there have been no posts recently but having moved house it took BT till Friday (nearly a month) to transfer the line from the old house to the new one. Today was a boiling hot day and as it has been hot for several days it was time for the hay harvest. Luckily we had some willing (and some not so willing volunteers) some of whom were the riders dads and some were the riders themselves. This made the job a lot easier as the work was shared round... manhandling a few hundred bales of hay is not an easy one man job! Many thanks to all those who helped out. Special thanks goes to Dennis for his continuing support collecting the hay and particularly for the use of his trailer to collect it.

    I am the Chair of the Committee that runs Summerfield Stables. I like helping out with the horses as much as I can but I find it hard to find the time.
