I did actualy with a nearby riding school that i still have the weekly lesson at(just to keep my skills up as still looking for new pony) and we had a lovely time. There were some cyclists that came from behind and sounded a bell that spooked my pony as we were at the back, and could have spooked others! Has anybody encountered this problem or had trouble with motorists/pedestians?

We met cars, tractors, dogs, cows, sheep, lots of excited yearlings and horses in the nearby fields who were really pleased to see us but to give them credit my lads didn't bat an eyelid! Only one tricky moment when we had to pass a Garda (Irish police) car, JJ gave it a right old look. I wonder if I should read anything into that?

Have had some very funny moments. Hundreds of people filming with Trinny & susanna all with no clothes on!!! A naked Rambler walking the Southdowns way!! had to cover our ponies eyes for fear of embarrasing them.
