Well, Dinah recovered from her kick in the field and by the end of September 1999 she was fit enough for a spot of forest hacking. So off we went back to Gloucestershire!

The Granary seemed like home from home, and Monarch was happy to find that Dinah was actually there after a night in his old stable !

We got the impression that Dinah approved of the paddock - who says horses can't smile! ... and anything she can do ... ah well.

They could not believe that they had a whole paddock between the two of them
- much better than home !

Sheba was getting
the better of Mini - sometimes !

Forty was pleased to see us again.

Mavis was really happy to show Dinah all the places that she had missed on our first visit!

Here we are approaching the radio masts
across the valley from Church Farm

Just as predicted ! Dinah loved the well.

Joe the groom keeping a tail in trim !

During our short stay the local Lea Show took place and we went along for the afternoon. It was fun to visit a real country show with everything from Morris dancers to home made jam - we bought some!

Gilly and Chance from Church farm competed....

.... and the local hunt displayed their hounds in the showjumping arena.

These two decided that they could enjoy life here permanently - however all good things must come to an end. We will all be back though, as soon as we can!
Another sequel - visit four !
