Just sitting here with a nice G&T on the go thinking back into the VERY dim and distant past to one of the first riding schools I ever went to.
It was Whiteleaf riding stables in Teynham in Kent. Just wondered if anyone here went there and remember any of the people/horses.
I am sure the owner/instructor was Graham Butt (I could have got that surname ridiculously wrong of course) and fondly remember ponies such as Orry, fat, white pony jump anything but only from a near standstill, Dusty, really apt name oh loads and loads so won't bore you all.
Learned a lot at that place but not all of them good. In fact, this was definitely the place responsible for my lack of courage over the fences. That said, I was there from 7am to 7pm every weekend to earn my ride and loved every blooming moment.
Happy Thursday from a nice sunny India. Would be nice to ride but I'm stuck in with toothache. Dentists out here are sent straight from butcher college I kid you not.
