the story behind this ... our local pack of Basset Hounds the Albany Bassets needs some help with funding. SO !!! after 30 odd years of being Debra's partner and putting up with the horses / being involved with mucking out , driving the horses to shows , meets , holding on to them,tacking up grooming , poo picking boot cleaning and generally paying for the partner and daughters lifestyle .... Steve has decided he will do his crazy bit and mount ( and hopefully stay mounted ) one of the family steeds to do an endurance ride of around 2 hours .Please note this will include a much needed pub stop maybe even two !
The Albany Bassets
The pack consists of 10 couple of hounds all living together as a working pack. The great pleasure of hunting with Basset hounds is that in comparison with other hound breeds they are are a slow methodical mover. This enables the Hunt staff and supporters to keep in contact and see the hounds work as the Basset unravels the line of the scent. Secondly it is the tremendous voice of the Basset as it hunts .The clamour of a pack of Bassets in full cry has no equal in hunting ! Thirdly it is the unique character and appearance of this lovely ancient breed working in the countryside.
Willberry Wonder Pony
Hannah Francis , a 17 year old who was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer and sadly passed away . Hannah had hopes of becoming a top eventer. Hannah has fought to make Willberry Wonder Pony as big as possible. There was a huge groundswell of support as they told their story- and found it became an opportunity to help other people learn about living with the awful disease, so all efforts turned towards setting up a formal charity now know as Hannahs Willberry Wonder Pony Charity
