Tense moments as Nicky Moffatt (Horse and Rider magazine) trots up with Bletsoe Royal Marie at the finish of their 40km ride - all was well and a Gold award was the result!
You can just about make out the icecream van in the car park on the A39 - it was well supported by the riders and crews on both Day 1 and Day 2!
Halfway at Malmsmead was a peaceful place to be - the pasties from the cafe there were great too!
Pebble thinks she is going to have a piece of my pasty ... but she has another think coming!!
Madeleine Loten, crewing for Alison House and Briar Rose, makes sure that the horse chills out a bit after vetting at Malmsmead.`

Oblivious to the forthcoming disruption of their day, these sheep were 'safely grazing' up on the moor early on Day 1
Waiting to start in the Pleasure Ride on Sunday
Well wrapped-up - it was chilly and damp!
The farriers (Andrew Saunders, James Hazell and Matt Smith) were kept busy with the pre-vetting farrier inspection and subsequently with an unusually high number of shoes needing to be fitted.
The vetting area all set up with dressage boards - some of us thought this might prove a bit scary for endurance horses ... but we were proved wrong!

Mary Korn and Mister Mylo - the crews were all ready with icecreams for their riders at the car park up above Porlock
