My name is Margaret Valvona, better known as
Mags. I am 61 years old and have only been riding for 12 years, a
relative newcomer, but completely hooked. My horse is a 14 year
old ID X standing 16.3 and black or slightly brown in the summer.
His name is Prince and of course he is gorgeous. I bought him 8
years ago from Murray Bain at Harelaw Stables. I also bought my
first horse from Murray, a 10 year old strawberry roan cob called Rosie.
Although I had 10 lessons at Tower Farm, instructed by Kim Boxer, Rosie
is the one who taught me to ride, she was absolutely fabulous.
Rosie and I did lots of common rides and beach rides at Longniddry.
I took out rides at Harelaw on many different horses and began to like
more powerful horses. Prince August 2006 |

and I have done some common rides but I soon began to think that these
rides were quite dangerous for horse and rider so I took up Endurance
Riding. I did many Pleasure rides up to 15 miles, but Prince was
too big to do 20 miles plus. I have done local show jumping, the
best rosette being 3rd and have done cross country for pleasure.
Nowadays I am a happy hacker and I am absolutely in love with horses,
especially Prince. I think riding is the best recreation there is,
it is very sociable and it takes away any stress you may have, it is
also very exciting. What is better than galloping along a beach or
riding through Dalkeith Park beside the deer and hare with all different
types of birds flying around?
