Alan and I were up at 4.00 am this morning as we were heading out to be Judge and Penciller at one of the obstacle/challenges at a Competitive Trail Ride for horses and riders. There were over 40 riders competing. The challenge Alan was judging was all about mounting and dismounting from the `off side'. The riders had to dismount from their horse onto this log, lead their horse around the log and then remount. It was very interesting and a lot of fun. For non riders reading this - a horse is always mounted from the same side and it is quite difficult for both horse and rider to do it in reverse. We were home at lunchtime and now we have lit our log fire for the first time this year as it is a very overcast and cool day. So nice and cosy to have a fire going :)
