Mr Cootes riding his lovely grey mare Melody. Spent all my spare time there as a young teenager. Favourite horse was Gypsy, which was one of Toby Lee's horses. Can remember most of the horses names as well. Anyone remember Roxy and Malcolm who used to work there before Ann and her mother replaced them?
