So meet Fleur. For those of you who don’t know, Fleur is Holly’s horse. Unfortunately recently she’s been a bit lame after lots of mites attacked her hooves. As such Holly and I have had to go down pretty much every day to try and get rid of them (yes that explains one of the reasons I’ve been even busier than normal!). Anyway, they’re nearly all gone so we managed to take her for the first ride in a few months.

It’s a really good job too, Holly and I are planning to ride across Mongolia next year and, well, I’ve only been riding for a couple of months and so have a LOT of practice to get in!

Let me introduce Fleur…

More photos after the jump..

On the way back I caught this one just as it finished pouring with rain. I really loved the reflections created by the blazing sun on the soaking cobble stones…

More adventures (including possibly me falling off Fleur) to come…
