| Silva Starting out |
Silva and I had a blast of a day galloping around the Cheshire hunt country with about 200 riders. This year, I am very proud to be a member of the
Cheshire Foxhounds. I have been hunting a few of my younger, up and coming event horses and I believe it is a great education for them, jumping all sorts of fences, going through streams, and doing some serious conditioning up and down the hills of Chester County.

| In the Field |
Yesterday Silva and I were very well mounted: Silva was riding 'Cornel', Ron Juvonen's top hunt horse - Cornel is a is a legend in the field who knows every fence, hole and grazing area in the country.

I was on the mighty, '
Minotaure Du Passoir'. Amy Lindgren has left him in work with us since his win at the Bromont three day event a couple of years back and Min is a great galloper, super jumper and has the perfect mind for hunting. Both horses looked like they had a great time as well.

| Silva Approaching a Triple Rail - photo taken just a moment too soon! |
The first run we had was across the Walkers' land, on which the
Plantation Field Horse Trials is run. I was tempted to jump a few cross-country fences, but I was sure Denis Glaccum was watching with binoculars.

It was great to see fellow eventers Ryan Wood, Jenny Brannigan, Nikki Lendl, Susan Beebee, Sally Lofting and Camilla Grover out there. I believe Silva was the only dressage rider out....
A big thanks to Ron and Densey and Amy for allowing us to ride their great horses.
