After a hectic week in Munster we are off to Siegen and Freudenberg for the European Pony Championships. On the way we stopped at a trekking centre for a trail ride. Our luck looked like it still hadn't changed for riding as there were thunder storm warnings for the area and the owners were initially reluctant to take the ride out. You can understand their concern when you look at the report on the fire started by lightening that destroyed some of the facilities at the riding club that was to be used for the championships (see the report in the internet links) a few weeks before the competition was to begin.
The weather finally cleared & the riders managed to get out into the picturesque countryside.
The owner was impressed with the kids' riding & invited them back for a longer ride & BBQ the next day. Sadly, we couldn't take up the invitiation as we would be watching dressage, showjumping and the cross country phase of the pony champs 3DE.
