Nearing The End of Our Driving Season


I'll let you put your own captions to Felix's actions!!


How time flies!! Autumn already, shortening days and dropping temperatures signal the approach to winter - perish the thought! Now our thoughts turn to planning Christmas lunches and Christmas Carols not so very far away.

The end of the driving season will be on the 19th October 2009. This is when the farrier attends the horses, because of the cost of the new shoes, with the approach of winter, shorter daylight hours, and the possibility of poor weather.

The committee has decided to have the horses shoes removed and give the horses their winter break. The new season will start as soon as the weather allows in the New Year.

During the break we would invite you to keep up with the news, meet your friends from the EHDC, on Wednesday mornings at 11am at Dylans Restaurant, The Court Yard Craft Centre, Lychett Minster, for a Coffee Morning. Denise and Wally would also like the chance to visit you at your home, if this is what you would like us to do.

On Thursday 10th December at 6.30 pm, in conjunction Holton Lee we are having the usual Carols and Lantern walk, Mulled Wine plus Mince Pies and Holton Lee’s Charity draw, for further information ring Wally on 07790912770.

Without of the financial support of the Household Cavalry Association Dorset (£2,000) during 2009, we have continued to give the service you are used to. Our budget is tight but with your support we have got through the season. I would like to thank the people who donated the money for the drive when they had to cancel at short notice. My thanks go to the people who attended the Margaret Newell Memorial Day in August for raising a total of £607.00 on the day. God bless you all.
