Riders springing into the saddle create spring in FreeRein bookings

An air of expection and excitement is abroad among the horses this spring. There are going to be lots of trips into the hills visiting all our favourite farms and inns. Of late there has been too many times when there has been little to do except stand around the feeding rings gossiping and grumbling – even feelings of animosity towards those who are getting the most trips out. Rumours of compulsory redundancies regularly spread from the office into the fields.

So there were great celebrations when we learned that the bookings for April were double those for last year and three times the year before.

Many of us have been fitted with brand new saddles – and there is a new(ish) Equibus to carry us about. We are all a bit puzzled by how this has come about. Maybe its because there have been no increase in prices for the last 2 years – or perhaps our fellow workers at the airports have helped us with strike threats. Or it could be that – as a result of full page articles in the Times, The Guardian, Observer, Independent and the Telegraph – there is an increasing realisation that us FreeRein Horses, combined with the Great Cambrian Horse Trail Network, really do offer a very special and unique service for horse riders.
