Having got my 2023 Dartmoor Calendar to press, I set about clearing up and burning up after the winter! I will be distributing my calendars across and around the moor later this week, ready for the summer visitors. They will also be up on my website.
Swaling is done by farmers on Dartmoor in the winter months. The dense gorse is burnt to make room for the new growth of grass for the livestock grazing on the moor.
This is me in Yellowstone, Wyoming riding my horse Smoky and packing Pistol on my travels from Mexico to Canada. I thrive on adventures in faith with God. I am excited as I have that feeling, a strong stirring to live another adventure! :)
I took this photo when climbing the Italian Alps with two Greek ponies. On my journey from Athens to north west Spain. Later I met an Italian who kindly took photos of us near Monte Bianco, one of which I used for the front cover of my book "Riding by Faith across Southern Europe" I asked him to translate a sign written in Italian for me, which was "The adventure is inside us". Then he added "That's true of you Tracey!" I like the verse written in Psalm 139:16 "You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." ... It's true, "The adventure is already inside of us!"

I have had a fun year with friends training my Rainbow Team of Dartmoor ponies on Dartmoor and here are some film clips ! Enjoy!
