Here she is.

This is her, Karna, Niamh's horse.

She spends Thursday riding, Saturday and Sunday riding, grooming, mucking out, feeding, watering and generally pampering her.

The weather that night was closing. Whilst we were waiting in the office area the secretary took a call from somone who must have been enquiring whether riding lessons will still be on as the was a severe storm.

"Oh no we never cancel alessons due to the weather"

'Come on hurry up.'

This is only about two/three minutes after it started raining!!

Well within 15 minutes, you have never seen lightning or rain, or heard thunder like it. Guess what? They cancelled the lesson, it really was dangerous. Niamh was already out in the paddock with about six other riders, they got absolutely soaked.

It doesn't rain here too often, but oh boy!!!!

Hope your all having a spiffing Golden Jubilee weekend.
