Happy riders take to trails

'Chatter happy' horses and riders from the West Penwith Bridleways Association meet for one of their social rides at the Engine Inn, Nancledra.

THEY call themselves 'chatter-happy' –– and that includes both the horses and riders who take part in a Horse Hike programme.

The programme, organised by West Penwith Bridleways Association (WPBA), involves people enjoying friendly rides at locations as diverse and scenic as Drift Dam, Nancledra, Chapel Carn Brea, Polgigga and the newly-renovated Wheal Peevor mine stacks in Tehidy Park.

Next Tuesday, March 24, the WPBA is holding its AGM at the Yacht Inn at 7pm. Anyone interested in finding out more about the association is welcome to attend.

Peta-Jane Field, from the WPBA, said: "If you enjoy riding the tracks and bridleway trails which criss-cross West Penwith's moors or wriggle through our little woods, did you ever wonder who keeps them cut back, who discovers new ones to use or who worries about the ones which are blocked with brambles, trashed tractors and broken bikes?
