Hello Yorkshire peeps!

[Shysmum]

haha, yes the County Durham sign is a bit the worse for wear so it could come down - I think someone hit a pothole and then hit it. They missed North Yorkshire with some pretty good steering, by the looks of it

 

[RubysGold]

Hey Shysmum
I never realised you were quite local!
Ive always admired your horse, hes lovely!!

 

[Shysmum]

Oh thank you, means so much when someone tells me that

 

[ljohnsonsj]

I think I know which yard but actually don't know anyone on there. Do you have decent hacking out Preston way? I'm supposing not unless you have any fields you are allowed on

I too am very excited about the 'Yorkshire and the Humber' forum.

I wont post the name but they used to hold shows and we have the railway tracks,and a few fields at the bottom of my lane,the farmers are quite fair around here to be honest

 

[kirstyl]

I grew up in Willerby, nr Hull, many years ago and wondered if any of the old stables I used to know are still around. There was Bleach Yard at Bev where we rode on the Westwood, Harland at Cottingham, stables at Walkington where we used to go in games lessons at school and a funny little children's riding school at Bentley nr Bev. that we saw from the school bus each morning. They've probably all gone by now.

Nice to know people are so close, you guys should put your details on the riding buddies facebook page, it'd make it easier to meet up

Bleach Yard is still there, not sure about the others.

The stables at Walkington became the place where the police horses and dogs live.

 

[Janette]

Wakefield anybody ?

 

[xloopylozzax]

I've moved (again) so back in east Leeds (Garforth) area

not too far from you janette

I think I read in the news (about a week ago) that Hull police force are closing down the mounted police unit.
It'll save several hundred thousand K, which is needed to pay the new police commissioner's wage, staff & expenses, of course.

Bleach yard is still there and running - not sure about the others though.

[Slave2Magic]

No, wasn't me. My arab lives in Halifax.

 

[cloppy]
