Ride 'em cowboy!

Today we all did a pony trek! Everyone except Pip and Rosie decided they were horse people (many had never ridden before)

James was in a world of his own, gee-ing his stallion up the path, and proudly announcing that he had cracked the secret of getting his horse to trot. It was only slightly later that someone else pointed out that he took off at high speed on several occasions simply because one of the horse handlers was giving his horse a gentle tap on the behind 8-)

The big prize goes to Rosie, who is not a horse person at all, and could be heard to go 'noooo o o o o o o o' every time her horse got bored going slow and started to trot!

Nedd named his horse 'buck' as it refused to let any other one overtake, and was almost as slow as Kay on the hills

Becky displayed her confidence well, and was subsequently given a slightly balmy horse

Let's see however who needs a cushion to sit on tomorrow!

  1. Dear Rosie, I am mightily impressed that you have been riding a horse of all things - well done you!! I expect your botax was a little painful afterwards despite the ample padding. Henry said he was in Debenhams buying stuff for his sister and he was wearing the same outfit as the pic of him on the wall - he was embarrassed. Jedward were on This Morning, their hair was at least a foot high, mental. Hope you're eating enough - you seem to be wearing clothes I don't recognise - I didn't under-equip you did I? Bad mummy if I did. Anyway, be good, lots of love, Mum xxxxx

  2. Hi Rosie,

    I like the purple/pink/blue camouflage look, you look like an effiminate paratrooper.

    So mum told you about the rucksack in the cow poo incident, she omitted to tell you I had to wash it all off in a mountain stream, which got everything in the bag wet!

    I like those hats with the long tassles. The glacier looks impressive, 4,800meters wow. I bet the air was thin.

    Have fun and be good.
    lots of love
    Dad
