I remember a bloke named Graham who had horses down Waverly Lane. That's where my daughter started years ago. She went every Sunday and still rides when she can at Clough Farm, Crosspool.

I used to go to a Riding School, near Holmesfield Called "something" Hollow ..Run by June Hill..She married a well Known Solicitor from Chesterfield.. His name was Colin Eagle.
This is 60yrs ago..She had a brother called Tony..HI Tony..I married Shirley Chilton.. Bought a horse called Smokey from her. Smokey was unrideable at first..He was a Rig.. Took us ages to calm him down but he became addicted to my Dads Jam sandwiches and so we finally rode him normally( Well almost)
Does any one remember the days..or the riding School. You must be old then!!
