Bowyers

I lived at Bowyers in Steep Marsh for five years and ran Country Riding Stables with my parents. We had 20 horses and ponies and I taught so many children to ride. They were really happy days and even now I regret giving it all up and moving on. I tried to find SteepMarsh on my way home from Portsmouth last year and it has all changed so much I did not recognised it. I just could not find the village at all. i loved to ride up over the hill at the back of Mrs Blackers Farm. We used the broiler houses opposite Bowyers to house the horses in the winter. We also rented a small field called venables on the other side of the village. i would love to know if any of this still remains after all these years. Does anyone remember Country Riding Stable??? ritahay@talktalk.net
