HORSES FOR COURSES

Not far from where the travellers' caravans are camped, on the old lorry wash site, off Atherton Way, there are three piebald ponies, or perhaps small horses, tethered on a tiny patch of scrub, within a few yards of the river towpath. Not much grazing to be had there.
It's always been my belief travellers have a good reputation when it comes to caring for their steeds. After all, it's in their interests to keep them healthy for trading at a later date.
This site is so far off the beaten track, not many folk will see the horses.
Could be, of course, they will be moved to pastures new in the not too distant future.
