As the clocks go back my New Forest mares are living closer to home, no doubt calculating how soon it would be fuitful to turn up at the fence to ask for hay. Give them their due, they rarely turn up before it really is winter except for the odd visit which fortunately coincides with the farrier or the vet or worming time.

With the wind blowing and the horses all lit up, I did wonder if we might postpone our ride today. Either they'd worn themselves out or they are extremely well trained because they were so well behaved when we went out. Bella is an angel to lead. Her first five miles 'hack' and she didn't put a foot wrong.
