Dear All Firstly, I’d like to wish you all a very happy new year and hope that the weather improves soon as I’m fed up of not being able to get out and ride. Bridleway News · Lea Holme · Ashworth Concessionary · Heap Road
We haven’t had an update on Heap Road yet, although the closing date was August, but we all know how long these things take. More of the same, all we know is that this is with the Council’s Degal department. · Woodtop/Mile Canter

Dates for Your Diary · Monday, 25th January 2010 · Monday, 22nd February 2010 (AS SEEN ON TV) Reviews Turn out to the last few meetings before Christmas was excellent, particularly the Quiz Night in October. We were absolutely amazed at the number of people who turned up. Congratulations to the winners The Long Stayers.who were also kind enough to share their chocolates. Boxing Day Ride Well this didn’t happen – weather permitting it didn’t permit! Anyway, we are planning to still have a Christmas ride with hot toddies (courtesy of Gwen) as soon as the snow and ice has gone. Santa hats and tinsel or antlers or whatever can still be worn.

And now something a little light hearted A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, she leaps away from the horse to try and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup, she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over. As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune... the Tesco Manager sees her and shuts the horse off Where do most Mormon horses live?
