Horses for courses

T’other weekend I went to Burnham Market International Horse Trials. By gosh there was a cold wind. I wrapped up in my faux tweed jacket and cap in order to try to ‘blend in’ with the posh people. One has to try.

Ahhhh, a gallop. I remember this feeling well, the wind in your face and the ground rushing past at a lightening pace.

  5. Absolutely love Burnham Market although I haven't been for a couple of years - love your action shots! :-) Being Lincolnshire born though my heart will always lie with Burghley Horse Trials (at the risk of provoking a Burghley vs Badminton war in the comments!)

  7. Is BM the posh little villagey place with a random Jack Wills & the shop with all the hats?
    I miss riding so much. I've not ridden for about 8 years I reckon, and even then it was just friends horses. When my dad moved out of Wales he sold my horse and I was so devastated, I may only have spent time with/on him during School holidays but he was such a a big part of my life! Riding across the mountains in Wales jumping random bushes for fun is one of my nicest memories!
