Ride to B'mouth again and Pontispool

Long story short, Juniblest and I went to Bournemouth again on Thursday before Anna, the ponies and I went to a Parelli horsemanship camp at Pontispool on Friday. We stopped for a ride in Puddletown forest on the way there and had a great weekend! Juniblest is an amazing pony =) He had a nap before we set off, we met a cow and he decided to sleep in his poo at Pontispool... Picture time!://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1lApMA7Rnpg/T-eEaJ4zuHI/AAAAAAAAAdM/6yCV53nk964/tmpAF8D.tmp.jpg"/>

Blogging from the phone

This is a test as I've just downloaded an app that should enable me to post pics and stuff =) Here's Juniblest next to a jump almost as tall as he is...

Planning finished!

I have the route, I have the accommodation (although not booked) and unless I stumble across any unforseen problems the journey will be from the 1st of July to the 2nd of August - a lot less than what I first thought!

All I need to do now is to book, book and book - and then we should be on our way in not too long! Wee =)

Fundraising!

The New Forcast Ride has become a charity ride and Juniblest and I are fundraising for World Horse Welfare because they have done so much for us regarding Juniblest's weight issues - and they do an overall very important job, and Riding for the Disabled because they do change many people's lives and we've had a close relationship to the Brockenhurst group during our stay in the UK.

Thank you!

We're on the radio!

This Thursday (tomorrow) I'll pop into Voice FM's studio at 1.30pm to talk about the ride - Juniblest was not invited... =) Please tune your radio in to 103.9 and enjoy!
