Easter with Evie

Easter time sent me back to the West Country to help look after my 3 year old neice, Evie.

Western Riding

I managed to track down an authentic Western riding stables in Surrey.


The owner had been a champion barrel racer in Vermont and brought her skills back home.

(Barrel racing is a rodeo event for women. Rider and horse race against the clock to complete a 'clover-leafed' shape course marked out by barrels).


The school boasts Mustangs, Apalusas and American quarterhorses.

I rode Picasso for the day. Marvellous.

Western Kent
