No we didn't ride them! The family that we're staying with have 2 horses that they hope to train up for pony-trekking. Despite the kids' keenness for us to have a go, we declined. They need a bit more training first! One nearly kicked me as they were trying to fit the bridle and the other threw off the oldest girl when she was riding it! On top of that, there was someone else's horse in the field that was just vicious. It was running up to those on foot and kicking when they tried to shoo it away. Ben and I, who aren't fans of horses at the best of times, were rather terrified.
