Noisy Haylage Monsters

What a lovely evening we had last night.
As we were putting the horses in the field around 9pm we could hear music coming from the village so decided to go take a look. We hadn't seen any posters so were surprised to see the village square full of tables and chairs,various stalls a bar and a bandstand. There was a lovely atmosphere and people were dancing to music from a combo of sax, guitar drums and accordian. They played french folk songs and a few jazz classics, we even got a rendition of Mac Le Couteau!! It was great.

We had an eventful ride this morning. We set off for our 30 minute ride, down the same track we've been down many times before, but this time Corky would not go. And so Anky would not go!
We could hear banging in a far field just as we were approaching the haylage monsters behind the hedge, so can only presume that the combination of both things set Corky off. The problem was that we were on a narrow track with electric fencing on one side and after last time I really didn't want Corky backing on to it.
We managed to get into the field on the opposite side and approach from that direction, but Corky wouldn't go and I didn't want to pressurise Jim :-) so I got off Anky and led her past. She was quite worried, but very well behaved and further down the lane I managed to get back on. After that they were ok if a little on their toes. Jim commented that Corky was lovely to ride when a little bit huffy!!! And it was nice to ride an Anky with a little bit of spirit.

My parents have arrived this afternoon for the week, so I'm hoping for lovely warm sunny weather and we have lots planned.
