Hi - I'm on Clee Hill Have to say, it was blinkin cold up there the other morning with the wind - had to put rugs on the TB's. Hardly any road work, but lots of sheep to leap infront of me and spook my ex-racer!! LOL Haven't done a winter on the hill yet though so I'm dreading it

cockshutford!! I bet I know where u were !! Lovely. I was born in a bungalow on the hill and lived there until I was 16, we had a gate straight onto the hill, I miss that. But to be fair I only have to ride 5 mins to get onto it now. Yea we are near Abdon, Tugford and Earnstrey.
Speedy where r u? Are u near me lol, do u wanna go hackin?? Not that im desperate for someone to ride with or owt !! Gina x

Tehehe yup living on a hill in them conditions is a bit of a nightmare. The horses had a river running through thier "summer" feild this yr. As we were strip grazing we had to move the fence up to higher ground so they had somewhere to get out of the water! Bless em ! Oh for some nice cosy stables in that weather !! Bumpity for speedy too

hello you mean the winter could be worse than the summer we just had? OMG I had a river running thorugh my field most of the 'summer' - fortunately do have some stables to put them in when it's dreadful, but was not impressed about stabling most of the summer! I'm afraid I don't know where cockshutford is!! A bit new to the area still.... I'm near Cleeton St Mary - is that anywhere near you? I'm always looking for hacking buddies, but my chaps off work at the mo Hopefully be back soon though.

Tsk ahh pants I think you might be slightly too far away from us to be hacking buddies without having to use transport, what a shame!! There are quite a few horsey people by me but most I dont know and the one's I do just want to school, school, school. I like my hacking me!! Look at this map www.cleetoncourt.co.uk/Map.htm I am inbetween Abdon and Tugford, if you draw a line from your village diagonaly to the left at about 10 oclock you will see where I am. What a shame I hope ur boy gets betta and back into work soon for you speedy.

Oh yes - that's quite a long way away really and I don't have transport. The lady who owns the land my horses are on, is also very keen on dressage and doesn't hack much, but I have cheekily managed to tag along with someone who hacks past my gate sometimes Was windy up there this morning and my chaps were spooking at the wind in the field - lord only knows what he'll be like to ride in it!! Winter could be really hard this yr
