A personal glimpse of daily life at the Ash Tree Stables at Holton Lee (the home of the East Holton Driving Centre) near Poole in Dorset, a carriage driving centre for disabled adults. Written contributions from other helpers or disabled carriage drivers about their impressions or experiences very welcome. Just email me: jon.colvile at gmail.com Left click on an image to enlarge.
I retired from a lifetime of livestock farming in 2001. I did enjoy a few forays into various other occupations such as the building industry and hospital work during travels back to Kenya, where I grew up, and Australia before settling down in England in 1969.
