Riding around the World

You might think some of the plans for our trip are a bit corny but there are certain things we wanted to do along the way. We wanted to ride an elephant in Thailand - check! We wanted to ride through English hamlets and across the fields - check! Today we hired two cobs and with our guide set off through the little hamlet and out into the fields. Sarah rode a big black and white gypsy cob called Merlin which was maybe a sign our choice of the origins of Stonehenge was right! Both horses were well trained and loved to gallop acroos the top of the hills. We also went through part of a wooded area - alas no merrymen in sight!
On our next stop we have tickets for the dancing horses of Vienna, and then plan to take a buggy ride through Central Park in New York.

And of course Sarah just had to have a pint at the Hungerford Arms Hotel where we had lunch!
