10miles of walking today up and down dale. It was beautiful and sunny! Had a couple of questions closer to home but the further away we went, the further she wanted to go❤️ She was a bit put out that I wasn’t able to keep up with her going up hill. I kept getting, ‘Ugh! Come on!’. I was half wishing I’d put her ba****ck pad on so she could carry me up. I think she would have been happier that way instead of waiting for a huffing, puffing middle aged women who needed rest breaks🤣 she’s such a patient walking companion❤️

How funny! The first pic was a year ago today and the second was yesterday when we went hunting for the last of the snow that fell the day before! Not so nice out there today!

We had snow!!! It was a bit of a surprise because our internet has been down for a few days so I’ve not done a weather check. I felt like kid at Christmas when I opened the curtains🤣 Sadly I didn’t get to go play because I had to go to work so I’m sharing a little pic from the small dumping we had last winter. Would love to see your snowy pics below 👇 snowy sunrise from my garden in the comments!

Laaaddies and gentlemen! I present to you for the first time in months….Wiiiinnnnttterrrrrrr!

Well, it’s Tommy but I think we all get it!

Looking forward to moving to winter grazing where it’s slightly easier on the daily. Where fields drain better and there’s a bit more grass to roll in.

Have you moved over to winter grazing and routines yet?

Our outing in the sunshine was ruined by the hunt today🫤 Poor Tommy was petrified when he heard them and turned for home. I got off but he was so upset that I struggled to help both of horses off the moor safely. We had to keep stopping and checking in with each other but as soon as we got moving again both horses wanted to run. It was slow getting home but we got there.

When I got them home I put a warning on our local group just incase other riders had the same idea on this beautiful day. Some lovely comments as you can imagine and I was told Tommy was probably ‘excited not petrified🫤

An hour later another post went up of a loose horse lost on the same bit of moor. 3hrs later he still hasn’t been found as far as I’m aware. The owner must be besides herself.

I wish the hunt would let us know when they are in the area! All it takes a little post to the local page!

The horse world is going backwards and it is sooooo disheartening!

A whopping 96% voted AGAINST the ‘no blood’ rule meaning that they basically couldn’t care less if a horse displays blood in competition. Humans just get to continue on abusing horses in broad daylight whilst other humans shout ‘hurray’ and applaud!

Disgusted! Absolutely disgusted!

What are your thoughts?

Such a romantic🤣🤣

Well, that’s the last time we will be doing evening outings for a while what with the clocks going back tomorrow and what a treat the sky gave us!
Anyway, who is looking forward to the nights drawing in at 4.30pm? The mud? The rain? Anyone??? No???🤣
To be honest we had a bit of a taste of winter as we edged up to the top of the hill! Goodness me it was FREEZING in the wind! Brought back strong memories of riding in the snowy wind last year! Bitter!
As you can see by Clovers face, she was not impressed! I did tell her that she could use Tommy as a windshield but she preferred to stand into the wind and close her ears instead.

A quick outing or so we thought! Got half way around and a van was blocking the gate so we had to find the driver. Luckily after five minutes he showed up and moved it for us but not before telling me he’s petrified of horses. After he kindly opened the gate for us I asked if he’d like to say, ‘Hello’ to Clover whilst he was behind the gate and he bravely reached out! Clover responded by sniffing his hand! Hopefully he got a glimpse of how wonderful horses are and will be a little more confident next time he meets one!

Oh so fluffy in more ways than one🤣 coats are well and truly coming in now! I do love it but it reminds me so much of what is around the corner AKA winter! I’m not ready are you? Anyway, we were treated to this fantastic fluffy sky on our return today! Just like candy floss! Yum!

Hacking is our favourite! Today we were stopped temporarily by a fallen branch but after getting off and doing some tree surgeon work, I managed to make a slim archway so we could just squeeze through then normal rhythm resumed😊 You just never know what you’ll meet out here on Dartmoor so keeping a cool head and thinking on the spot is a must❤️

Please wear a flipping hat and if you’re not going to wear one then please don’t let your children go without 🫤

We just never know what might happen no matter how much we trust our horses.

I’ve seen a few reliable ponies spook just lately and the riders have ended up on the floor.

I had a fall from Clover a little while back due to a sheep hidden in gorse that spooked us both.

Heads are precious😖 It’s never worth it🫤
