We do not have the best hacking out here.  Everything involves a long trek on a road and there are no bridle paths near us.  I have, however, been very lucky with my neighbours and a couple of them let me ride over their fields.

Unfortunately those fields have both been sold but I have relatively new neighbours in the other direction who have now given me permission to ride in their fields.

This is a lovely space for riding and I am so grateful to have access to it.  We can wend our way round several fields (and a bit of woodland!) and make a very decent length ride with only a short amount of roadwork to get there.  It is wonderful.
