PENTYRCH HUNT FUN RIDE TOMORROW IN CAERPHILLY !!!

[Eira]

So who is going tomorrow ??

Does anyone know how long it is ?
and how much road work there is to do ?

Thanks

 

[muffinino]

I'm going and I'd estimate it'll take 4 hours all in all. There shouldn't be too much roadwork, most of it will be when we leave the pub and go toward the first bit of private land, approx 10 mins, but a lot of that will be on a bridlepath, then on the way towards my yard we'll have to go down the road for about 30 secs! There'll be a break for a drink and biccies, then we'll cross the road and go on some bridlepaths, come down Caerphilly Mountain and down the road for about 10 mins back to the pub, with a BBQ when we get there. There'll be people stopping traffic for us to cross roads and stewards to help with traffic when riding on roads.

I think bhpride might be going (are you?

and I've been trying all week to convince Equestrian Fairy to go. EF - you can still ride with us and we'll be weirdos together!

 

[Eira]

I'm trying to convince EF to go too

I will indeed be coming

Oh good news about the roadwork

Sol is still not 100% in traffic and I didn't want it all to be roads as I may die ( or kill someone) in the process

Are you hacking or boxing to the Pub ?

 

[muffinino]

Cool! See you there! I'll be hacking as it's only about 3/4 hour from my yard.
The road bits shouldn't be too much for Sol, there's a few places to cross but there should be enough people that you could slot in the middle somemwhere. T is great in traffic so you could ride by me and we'll shield you, lol! He'll probably think he's hunting though, so will be a bit excited!

I know of a few people who are going so it shuld be a good laugh.

 

[Eira]

Oh good

Am very excited now lol
Oooh one last question (SORRY

)
Does everyone set off at the same time so we are all in a huge group ?
Only as I better warn the lady that is coming with us as her horse ( and her

) may need some calmer tonight

 

[muffinino]

Ask away! We'll be going in one group so calmer might be needed!

On the private land we'll be splitting in to groups for the jumping and there'll also be a group for non-jumpers.
Oh yeah, get there a little bit early as you have to sign in at the start with your name/contact number first and then set off should be 11.

 

[Eira]

Oh dear

I will die a long a slow death ....... alone
Oh well it should be a good tester to how she will go out hunting

Do you have any clue how big the jumps are ?

 

[muffinino]

Nah, you won't be alone - I can laugh and point if you'd prefer!

Not huge, between 2'3'' - 2'9''. They're not too scary, it's meant to be a 'pleasure' ride, remember?

 

[Eira]

Oh yes please do laugh and point at the numpty on the big cow looking ISH that will be sqwaking like a parrot everytime she spooks at the floor

I think I may be busy afterall tomorrow

 

[muffinino]

OI! Cows are very fashionble at the moment. As for ones that are crossed with parrots, well...

 

[Eira]

I am now very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very scared

 

[muffinino]

Yes, i is quite an image...!

Maybe I can find some willing person ( read idiot ) to ride my horse

I wish I had stayed oblivious now

 

[muffinino]

You'll be fine, it'll just be 'interesting' for the first half hour or so!

 

[Eira]

My plan is to stay at the back and deny my horse can trot

Good luck with that - I think Sol may have something to say about i!

 

[Eira]

Yes , I believe she thinks canter is her only pace

Ohh another question - I'm guessing if we are all together there will be co-ordernated canters etc ?
Not just bomb off at top speeds ?

[ can you tell I don't like hacking ?

]

 

[muffinino]

Um, that one I'm not 100% on but hopefully there will be warnings before canters!

 

[slivertonics]
