These bluebells blooming on top of the hedge caught my eye, as I was driving down this Dartmoor Lane. The bluebells have been splendid on Dartmoor this May.

My Dartmoor Ponies give me so much pleasure! I bred them and now I am training three of them to be ridden. Most of them are out of my one Mare, which my mother gave me many years ago called Shilstone Rocks Rainstorm. Hence I have called her foals... Rainbow, Thunder, Lightning, Raindrop and Talia (meaning dew from heaven). She has another on the way this month!

I struggled through school with severe dyslexia and now I want to encourage other children who are struggling with handling and riding my ponies. to show them that despite their obstacles they can still reach for and live their dreams.

Below is a short summary showing some of what I was sharing on tour, including my latest Israel ride and the the Charge of Beersheba.

 

I have  recently returned from a speaking tour in New Zealand and Australia, where I gave nineteen presentations on my worldwide riding adventures including my ride around Israel and the re enactment of the Charge of Beersheba. I also rode out on the farm in Hawkes Bay offspring of the two mares I export to New Zealand several years ago!
