Ravenroyd


Ravenroyd farm is now run as an equestrian centre, and it looked busy and professional as I passed through. The public footpath goes round the side of the house and past some other buildings at the rear.



There was a gentleman leading some horses out to pasture, so they followed me right along the track. The gentle clip-clop of a horse's hooves is such an evocative sound, quite soothing. I noticed some of the horses wore net hoods, to protect against flies I think.

  1. The farmhouse looks really nice. The piebald horse on the trailer ramp is a "Vanner" as used by the gypsy folk.

  2. The horses all look related to each other.

  3. Yes, those hoods protect their eyes against flies.
