Ashley was in fine form for this evening's ride. We rode out along Colston road, stopping for a full 15 minutes to chat with Michael's relatives at Colston who were riding the most enormous Shire horses. We made good speed to Riverford and then took the track leading back to Hole Farm that we rarely get to ride. With no lights we had to make good speed to return before dark, but Ashley managed it with no difficulty whatsoever.
