The Horse Power Challenge

[Lois]

Ok...maybe not quite what you're thinking...I mean REAL horse power!

I've just been told about a riding centre that's quite near the Cat and Fiddle (bonus!). They cater for all riding abilities and if there's any other experienced riders they can split the group off half way so some can get a good canter! So long as you're under 18 stone.

Anyone up for it?!

Err, no . looks dangerous,nd painfull !
off to Wales at spring bank nd goin pony trekkin so ill see how scarey that is !

[Lois]

It's not scary!
ok maybe a little bit when you're dragged under a cantering horses feet with 1 foot in the stirrup and end up loosing half the skin from your legs, back and ar$e!! BUT THAT ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS!

Na, if you've never ridden before it'll just be a nice leisurely hack, maybe a bit of trotting if you're feeling energetic!

cant help thinkin id need lots of paddin nd a helmet, do they hav rev limiters/ air bags ?

[Lois]

Totally de-limited...that's why it's so fun!
The floor has acted as a lovely airbag for me a few times, but there is also a semi-airbag for lesser emergencies called the horses neck!!

[cone]

lets see how many other takers you get , then ill rethink .
( please no one else reply )

[Lois]

could open it up to midlands too I suppose seeing as it's across that way a bit!

Oh come on you know it'd be a laugh! (Plus the C+F roads)

[Twincam16]

Can I have a turbocharged one? I want to beat Pwig off the line

[Lois]

Does that mean you want to come

[cone]

NO dont u dare say yes !

[Twincam16]

I'll think about it - depends what I'm doing on the day that suits everyone but I won't rule it out completely - might be fun and come one - Cat & Fiddle? Those roads? If I have a car by then it's going to be any excuse!

[Twincam16]

In fact, I know of a place that hires quad bikes out for the same purpose around the same route, come to think of it

sorry Lois...

[cone]

FOOL !

[Lois]

Oh cone you know you want to!!
It'll be a fun day out! PROMISE!
