Christmas ride 2011
Great day today - we had drinks in the shepherd hut first and then rode to the Hare and Hounds where the horses rugs, head collars and hay nets were waiting and they were tied up while we went inside to partake of a little Christmas cheer...
Pauline has been race riding her own horses in point to points for 15 years and is now training with Doug. Pauline has recently got her trainers permit. They are both passionate about National Hunt racing and achieving maximum potential from their horses in the best possible way. This is why ‘Equine Fitness’ is a very exciting new business for them.
In 2006 Doug eventually plucked up the courage (it only took 7 years!) to propose to Pauline whilst they were on holiday in the Maldives and they married in the Lake District in June 2007.
