Sarah Caselton said… Hi Beth,
Thanks for the info, I am looking forward to doing alot of meandering! I'm not sure where you are but we will hopefully be living just outside of Aubin by the end of April. We have bought a small farm there and eventually I hope to do liveries,and maybe abit of reschooling, buying and selling. My partner and I have both spent most of our lives abroad. I did my AI along time ago and worked mostly with eventers in Germany, Italy and Poland. I too, have had a long break due to a divorce, a 2yr old and a change of career (naturopathy, Functional Medicine) but now I am really happy I can get back into my first love, although I think I am abit long in the tooth to get back into eventing. I love flatwork and hacking so thats why I thought maybe endurance or TREC, plus its something I can do with my now 9yr. I don't own any horses at present but I have a two place lorry waiting in Blighty to stick at least one pony in and maybe a horse for me? although I really fancy going to Germany to see my friends and find something there. I won't have much time for training this year as we have alot of renovating to do before winter hits again. But maybe further down the road we can do a ride together. Cheers! Sarah

I really hope that the weather clears up soon, I know I said I wanted some rain at one point as there was no grass and we didn't make nearly as much hay as we usually do, but I know I fully emphasised the word "some"!
Here is my phone number, feel free to give me a call when you like 05.63.31.07.85.

When the kids go back to school maybe we could meet up and arrange for you to come over with your horse and go for a ride together.

Beckie Roques said… Hi,
I went to some shows years ago before I had my first child - I now have 4! I did do a few treks too and they were good fun, I went with an association which is at the Bastile du Temple, but I haven't been for a while. I would be interested in going again if I can mange to find the time, although my New Forest is 19 now but he is as keen as ever to do things and sometimes still thinks he is a 3 year old! The vet said he is in great shape though so maybe I could do a small one.... The other ponies are a bit too small for me and I got them more for my kids as they keep trying to nick my pony!
Have a great New Year too

Beckie Roques said… Hi Beth,
I am so sorry about you having to PTS your horses it must of been so hard for you. I have 3 ponies, a New Forest, a Shetland and one of unknown breed. I love going for rides here and feel very lucky to be able to ride without having cars racing past me all the time and lovely sunshine most of the year. Where do you live exactly? I live in Les Barthes which is also in the 82 and situated near Castelsarrasin and Moissac and have lived in this area for 17 years.
