    Nice looking pony,with plenty of go!
    Often see Trotting ponies around my location.Sunday mornings,on occasions,the bypass gets blocked off with pickup trucks men with wads of money,in the back."A contest"takes place,n they are gone as fast as they arrived.

    I'm no horse fan, but that and the other Barry Hook videos I saw were very enjoyable. I do love to see someone thriving in the privilege of making a career of the thing they love to do.

    • While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.

    When my ex died at 55, just 6 months after getting his army pension, I decided that life really was too short to spend doing stuff you don't enjoy. Since then I have spent all my money and am nowhere near as secure as I was, but I am doing stuff I enjoy. I have to work, but I don't mind work per se. Sometimes it is necessary to stand back and take a long look at your life. Don't live to regret being "Normal", if you don't like your life, change it!!!! Good luck!
    The Barry Hook videos are fantastic. He is very down to earth and has been a great help. His knowledge of horses is vast and he has a waiting list of about 150 people waiting to send their horses to him.

    Just looked at your album of 2 days in the Kent countryside. Reminded me of backpacking down from Scotland to Hants with my dog. I had the dog in my poncho overnight and she slipped her head inside it. Woke up next morning absolutely soaked in condensed dog breath!

    thats one hell of a trip! but fun non the less! best of luck with that!
    There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar, I love not man the less, but Nature more.

    Job to know what to do first. I think nearer the time that I am going to contact anyone and everyone roughly on my route and see if they can either help with grazing / stable / water, to give the pony a break or fancy joining me for a few days. I see a lot of the members are on my route more or less
