Anybody care to guess what Charlie and I encountered at the end of this path on our fun ride yesterday and what his reaction was?
What happened next...?

A massive vampire bat swooped out of the trees. He negotiated with the bat to let him go - although he has more blood than you, yours tastes nicer. He trotted off with a smirk on his face, leaving you to the mercy of the vampire

Nope, although he was very smitten with a pair of shetlands who were doing the lead rein route and desperately wanted to say hello to them so I wouldn't put it past him to want to follow a deer!

A person with a rucksack, so he turned and legged it in case there was a monster in there.

Afraid of exorcism
A llama?
(If it was an alpaca then its because I can't tell them apart)
A pig? He didn't react?
The massed bands of the regimental forces? He danced along in rhythm?

Well the real answer is a bit mundane now!
These - hundreds of them - for about the next 4 miles! They were blummin noisy too. He stopped, had a good look for about 10 seconds, then carried on happily on his way. I swear I could feel him shrug.
We overtook horses, got overtaken by some very fizzy ponies and although he wanted to go with them, he was very obliging when he was told no. He cantered in front and behind and was no different. I even got my friend to canter past us to see what he'd do - he slowed down until my friend was in front, tucked in behind and then got back up to speed to sit following. I know I'm smug - and I promise I'll tell you about the bad stuff when it happens but I am so enjoying this boy at the moment.

I was riding along a similar track a few years ago and came across Emma Thompson I was wondering if you did too until you posted the windmill pic.

You have every reason to be smug. Yesterday Rose and I met a green tractor, not that big but it appeared from round a corner and took us by surprise. Rose reacted more quickly than I did and we almost squished the car that was behind us when she whipped round and attempted to take flight. Tractor stopped and Rose went past it in shoulder in, lady sitting in the row of cars behind the tractor rolled her window down and said "Well sat, lovely mare!" I almost asked her if she wanted to buy her!

It's not the noise of the turbines when they are turning or the size of the darned things - but when the sun is out the turning blades make shadows run across the grass. Dragons out to get us!!!
