23 April and we're open!

Our first group of guests arrived for a 4 night Easter break on Saturday and they were fantastic!. We had Dania & Roger who are American currently living in the UK, Wayne & Elizabeth from Australia and Paul, Samantha & Rhiannon who are English and living just outside Paris. The horses are fit and ready to go and everyone had a great time riding, relaxing, sightseeing, eating and drinking - what more could you wish for?

Dania and Rhiannon arranged with Tanya for an afternoon ride which was supposedly going to be an uneventful trip around the local tracks just for a look around.





Here they are ready for the off










WELL! - this is the countryside and our intrepid little group of 3 were joined by a young but very large and inquisitive mule who showed rather too much interest in Ayva. Fortunately they were not very far from home and Chris and I got into the car and did the stagecoach rescue bit by getting between him and them so that they could get back through the gate without him following. Tanya then set off with a bucket of pony nuts to entice him back to his field and a neighbour let the owner know that it was time to raise his fences. This little escapade provided a subject for long and at times hilarious discussion through the evening. Oh well - never a dull moment. Why don't you come and see for yourself?
