Question in the title really lol XD

Me, Alice and a couple of others did it earlier....if anyone was there we were the ones in the bright pink tutu's and fairy outfits!!!! haha.

Waiting for the photo's to go up so shall put them up soon as I order them :D
 
Haha we started the 12m ride about 11.30 and finished about 1pmish....lol wasn't exactly looking subtle on a rather frisky tb who was cantering on the spot sideways the whole way round with a rider in neon pink leg warmers and a tutu XD haha

Spotting our photos were easy enough though :D
 
I saw you :) , or at least I saw someone in a pink tutu at around 1pm. We arrived just before 1pm and were one of the last to start (and finish). We didn't see another single sole for the whole 12miles and it was great - meant no worrying about passing people, or thinking about people passing us. It was so relaxed, and some of the views from the top of the hill were amazing.
 
hehe!! Lol yeah that would have been me, with a bay thoroughbred and black hogged cobby XD and my mate was in a multi coloured one and bright green socks also and fairy wings....was quite funny!!! lol.

Yeah the views are stunning, I'm only over about 10 mins away and usually hunt over that way too :D
 
Do you know who was taking the photos? By the time we got back and sorted out the horses, everyone was starting to pack away so we didn't get a chance to look (and we missed BBQ food :( )
 
John Britter Photography :)

I want to order my one of the first photo jump as it turned out ok....though got the mick taken out of me at the stand for not being able to find my ones! haha
 
Yeah! I did trot a lot of it as we were cantering on the spot and sideways most the time lol so just had to keep him going forwards on the walking parts. Silly ponio!

Jumped everything and most of the grassy bits we cantered [and one unintentional gallop where brakes failed!]....though my boy is quite fit now and our usual hacks we do 3x's a week are usually about 3 hours lol.

Binky, did you really do the 12 mile ride in just an hour and a half? It took us almost twice as long! I think I saw you at the start!

Ditto - we took forever. Spent most of it chatting as usual - oh, and got lost in that funny loop where they had a row of jumps, and then you had to double back on yourself - what was that all about !?! :confused:

Oh I know!! I was like 0.o?!? I carried on going and my mate was like 'Erm....you have to double back Lis!'

Confusion for the day haha.


Did anyone see the red arrows anywhere for the non-optional jumps?!? I didn't and really wanted to :(

Nope. We assumed that they must have been for the 6 mile only. We didn't expect the stream crossing - missed that notice !
 
That's what I thought too :( shame! Ah well.

I know, that was a bit sudden haha! Had to give someone a lead through it as the horse wouldn't go through. Didn't have a clue what mine would do, or our other cob tbf, but Bustie walked straight through it bless him! Panic over haha.
