Poor old gal was wet and miserable and didn't really want a photo, but appreciated a chat and a rub of her nose.

Horse sheltering from the rain under a tree. I stopped by, took a photo and had a chat with her whilst gently rubbing her nose. She seemed to appreciate the attention and soon the rain abated and she got back to some serious grazing.

This stile is very deceptive. It looks fine on the other side, but on this side it drops an extra 2 feet.
