Open Day

Last Monday we had an Open Day at Calvert Trust Exmoor. These days are always very busy but great fun. 

This time the weather was really great; we had a day filled with sunshine.  Most of us horses and ponies had a lovely day out in the field but two special horses were working hard.

Duchess and Hendrix spent the day giving carriage rides to people who had come to spend the day here.  Duchess and Hendrix shared the workload between them although if you listened to Hendrix you would think he did it all himself!  As it was such a hot day and they are both black horses they did feel the heat of the sun so each time they had finished their turn pulling the carriage they had a lovely shower to cool them down.

Duchess tells me they also had plenty of food to keep them going all day, I am sure Hendrix was glad about that.  The Open Day is a great opportunity for local people to come and see us.  They can learn a little bit about what the Calvert Trust does and can also have a go at some of the activities. 

Teddy was out in the field which looks over the reservoir all day with some of the other horses and he said they all watched people on the boats all day enjoying the sun.
