We had a lovely day with the reception class of Hope Brook School. They behaved perfectly and loved the jumping demonstration by Charlotte (who made it look effortless as always!). Before long the children cheered each time he jumped clear and went “oooh” when he clipped a pole. The horse, ‘Little Man’, was brilliant and seemed totally unaffected by the mob. Bud demonstrated how to round up cattle and they all had tea on the lawn sitting on straw bales which we later turned into a bale tunnel. Thank you Charlotte and Armstrong Equine team, Luke and Poppy for helping make the visit fun and safe.
Roy our digger driver was full of encouragement muttering that “if the wind picks up now we’ve had it”. Suddenly putting a king size duvet cover on doesn’t scare me anymore.
