Over Norton, Oxfordshire



Talk about going from one extreme to another!

 

I have spent the week with Dave Smith and his apprentice Rowan in the Chipping Norton area.  This is the first week that I have been into what I think of as a "show barn" in the sense that I know them.  One of Dave's clients was a reserve for the GB Olympic Eventing Team.  Working in a barn like that, or the really nice hunter stable above, makes the transition to the muddy cow yard very noticeable!  That said, the horses and people in the below picture were just as well behaved and nice as anyone could be.


One of the down sides to using a grinder around here is finding somewhere to plug it in.  The cords run all over the barn require some kind of protection.
