point to pointing


Yesterday we went out to watch the spectacular point to point.I've been looking forward more than christmas.The new forests point to point is one of the only ones that do it out in the wild.Its amazing the way the horses gallop over the heather at tremendous speeds. We were listening to people who said that the last hill is so strenuous that they found  it hard for their horses to go up.There is different age categories ranging from the veterans race which only the experienced commoners can take part in and the novice race for the people learning to ride.4 of the  agisters were there because its time off the them.Unfortunately one of them has to be ready for call out.The course had to be moved from shaterford to the other side of the road.This picture is me with one of the agisters land  rovers in the field.
