Pony Driving End 2 End

1st May We left John and Helens and set of to get the ponies, John came with us to give us  a lead through kendal to set us off on our journey, he probably agreed due to knowing how settled we were that without doing so he may never have got rid of us. They were amazing hosts, thank you ! Angie and Abi were on the trap all day and took Basil, Archie and William (not  necessarily in that order) swapping drivers for Basil because Abi couldn't possibly drive one of the others but not Basil ! Trish spent the day with John moving felix, getting food to try tempt Basil (all will be explained) talking to a 'horse whisperer' our out come was... Felix-would you believe it...he has a eating disorder and is always worried about where the next meal is coming from due to being scarred from lack of food on the moor in his early days. He is also worried about his friends doing all the work, he doesn't like being strapped down but doesn't want his mum to leave him...aww Basil-doesn't like haylage, or bucket feeds he just wants hay ? William-he says he's fine Archie-mentally fit but physically a little tired WE REACHED ENGLAND...Wahoooooooo! We arrived at Phil & Jaqui's who supplied us with showering/ washing facilities, lots of lovely food for us & the ponies, drinkers, huge breakfast,  lunch for the following day and great company!  Thank you :D
