I am not sure of what i am doing here , as i have never attempted to write one of these here blogs before , but since i am one of those with lots of try i will give it a go and hope for the best.
It has been some fifty years plus a few that i have spent my life with ponies at first and then horses of all kinds ,makes ,and shapes, they have for the most part been a great source of pleasure and friendship to me as i had little time or money for socializing for as i have discovered through the years working with horses is not the best way of becoming a millionaire, in fact i have found out that the best way of becoming a millionaire from horses is to have a couple of million to start with and then buy a few horses.
However this path which i have chosen to follow has had its ups ,I am not going to go on a bragging spree and start telling you of all the great places and people that i have met in my time ( i will leave that to those ones on face book =
) I will stick to the point of my story which is the reason i am writing this.
As i said fifty years plus a few and for the first time i am finding myself with some time on my hands and that for me is a first, so it gave me an opportunity to do something that i have always wished for ,TO RIDE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE of my native Ireland and see it as my Parents and my Grandparents saw it from the back of a horse which i have produced and that rides with such ease and such pleasure as to think I was floating on a cloud on my way to Valhalla , but that was not my destination on this great occasion.
My destination on this occasion was the Dingle Peninsula where i was meeting up with a few like minded horse lovers with one GOAL in mind and that was to RIDE TO THE SOUTH POLL and back in a day and on rout to see Minard Castle and the lake that sits high in the mountains above the beautiful Village of Annascaul which is the home of Tom Creen and where the SOUTH POLL INN is situated and where the best Pint of the black stuff is to be found and believe you me i know because between Saturday night and Sunday evening i had good trial of it.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those that assisted in this expedition to the SOUTH POLL and for helping to make one of my DREAMS COME TRUE. I am hoping that i can add a few photos to share the journey with ye who fear to venture.
