Several times at recent events I have been asked when certain funrides are taking place this year. So because I know you like to be on the ball I have compiled a list of funrides that we shall be attending in 2013. There are more dates still to be added as they are confirmed, but these dates are correct as it stands at present.

The first of our funrides is at Eaton Mascott on the 7th April. The photographs below are from the Eaton Mascott Funride last April…what a lot of happy smiley people! :)

Please note that owing to the ground conditions the Eaton Mascott Funride has been rescheduled to 28th April.

If you know of any other Funrides that could benefit from the services of CountryStyle Photography please feel free to put us in touch. We are always happy to help advertise the events we attend. We also upload all photos sold on the day to our CountryStyle Facebook page, that evening if possible, where they may be shared with friends. Our montages are very popular and, new for this year, we have your own phone app available for Android or iPhone displaying your favourite CountryStyle Photography images.

So, it may be snowing outside at present but I shall comfort myself with the thought that our first funride of the season is only seven weeks away!

Pretty in Pink….

Richard and I managed to be in two places at once last Sunday. I photographed the Habberley Fun Ride whilst Richard photographed the Pink Potter with the help of the intrepid Jack Sagar. An awful lot of hard work went into the organisation of the Pink Potter by Linda Sagar and the committee, assisted by Edward Tate from the Isle Estate who could not have been more obliging and helpful…so it was very nice to see the cars rolling up with their occupants and dogs wearing varying shades of pink. At the last count the Pink Potter raised around £2000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer…

The Habberley Fun Ride was well attended also, with spectacular views of the South Shropshire Hills.  All the riders taking part seemed to be enjoying themselves…

The photographs from both events can be found on the CountryStyle Photography website.

We have a nice varied weekend coming up. On Saturday 11th June we shall be alongside the River Severn at the Bridgnorth Regatta…and Sunday shall see us beside the sea in North Wales at the Kinmel Park Fun Ride. Hope this weather improves!

Ne’er cast a clout till May be out…

Well my clout was firmly in place last weekend, as it has been for most of May! And if this weather continues my clout will be in place through June as well! It was a tad chilly at Asterley on Saturday for the Pony Club mounted games…although watching the youngsters vault on and off their ponies with such ease made me feel warmer. And then we had the Isle funride on Sunday! One word will describe that day very well…windy! I sat in our event trailer feeling slightly seasick as it rocked back and forth in the wind. I also sat there wondering if the portaloo opposite was about to join me in our event trailer as that also swayed back and forth on its base. But apart from a few frisky horses and windswept riders the day went without mishap. The turnout as usual was very good with 260 entrants…all the photographs from the Isle fun ride, and the mounted games can be found on the CountryStyle Photography website. If you missed it the next funride at the Isle organised by the North Shropshire Hunt is on the 14th August. In the meantime we are photographing the Morville Countryside Club funride this Sunday 29th May and the Habberley funride next Sunday 5th June. Dont forget it is also the ‘Pink Potter’ on the 5th June at the Isle, Bicton…more on that later!
