Hello former Pendle person! lol I know Grindleton...keep my horses near to Bolton-by-Bowland!

It's a beautiful area. My grandparents escaped the city (Liverpool) during the war to live in Slaidburn. They are buried in Slaidburn churchyard. My dad was full of funny stories about his youth spent in that area. He met my Mum at a dance in Newton village hall.

How many moons ago? Do you remember my Flame?

We were there early 1990s.

 

[Froddy]

I live very near the UoC, or St Martins as we Lancaster folk still call it!

I was originally from near Clitheroe (a village called Grindleton, in sight of Pendle Hill). Moved from there to Maghull, between Ormskirk and Liverpool. Rode in my youth at Aughton and Formby (wonderful beach for riding).

I've been in Lancaster for over 30 years now, so am beginning to be accepted!

Where in Aughton did you ride? Aughton Chase or NEC? or somewhere else?

Flame:
Ermmmm originally in the mid 80's then again more recently (past 4 years) I bought my cob off them 3 years ago (with a bit of persuasion) so you were probably in the middle. Been on Cloverfield as livery prob 18 months ago for a short while.

 

[Orchardbeck]

I'm in Cumbria, just outside of Carlisle. But I used to live on the next farm to Ashgrove, just on the border.

 

[Fidgety]

I was a Pendle person too once (Grindleton, I could see Pendle Hill from my bedroom).

I used to live in Sabden

Aughton Chase, but did have a few lessons at NEC too. I was a helper at A Chase and bought my old boy Bamber from there when it closed. Also had some lessons with Joan Christian. All a long time ago now.

Bamber lived at various farms when I had him, and for a while at Clare Molyneux's. She became a lifelong friend.
