My daughter went - it was her first time - poor thing, all that rain. She stayed out 2.5 hours and then was soaked through and cold.

She did enjoy it though and wants to go again.

Yes, great day!
Breeches, gloves and stock are now in soak. Bridle etc was so wet, I washed tack in bucket before hanging up to dry. Major oiling session scheduled for tomorrow or Monday.
Nearly fell off at one fence, I was shivering so much. But despite incipient hypothermia, fantastic to be out. Much better than watching 'Grandstand' or whatever's on TV on Sat afternoons these days.
Mind you, if hunting's ever banned, I would have been a damned sight warmer today.

I went out and despite wearing 6 layers on top got soaked to the skin. Had great fun though but was very pleased when I was offered a lift home as opposed to hacking back. Did the pony and then got straight into the bath. Heaven!! Then fell asleep on the sofa cuddling the dog watching tv.

Out again tomorrow but its not raining. Hurray!!

It was great as i used someone elses horse,they got it ready for me,cleaned the tack,and transported it for me AND even payed for my cap!!
