Glen's introduction to horses and cows

Glen's introduction to horses and cows

Glen's attitude was sensibly cautious.  He had a good look, dug his heels in and refused to budge.  No problem.  We diverted three times and went back once to find another way round, as one of the three diversions.  Stiles were a problem but there was either a way through on one side or the other and, one farm gate that I untied and tied back after I got Glen through.  I never had to lift him over anything.

He loved Uffmoor Wood because he pulled the most in our three quarter circuit, after entering on the unofficial eastern, back side at the Elan aqueduct.  The end of our Uffmoor Wood walk came when he saw a gate to the road on his left and refused to go straight on or right.  Nothing for it but to go through that gate!  This was at Ivy Cottage on Uffmoor Lane.  The route out was via the Stour subway and one of my new self closing gates at Bibbey's Hollow.  2 hours and 20 minutes of lovely leg loosening for Glen and I.  But, at the end of the walk, mum had to lift him into the car even with the reward of one doggy biscuit, and then a second would you believe, placed on the back seat!
