Middleham Gallops.

by Herb Riddle
Middleham in North Yorkshire is famous for its castle but it is also a busy horse racing centre with many trainers and stables. In fact it is the home of over 500 horses and so this track of soft bark is very well used both for training and actual racing. PiP

Have a good weekend.

Super leading lines Herb, not so sure about the surface for racing tho' but I guess the trainers know what they're doing ...

Herb Riddle replied to MaggsMep:

Hi Maggs. The surface was a soft almost bark-like substance so no danger to the hoofs. On the contrary, quite perfect for soft going!

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Die Natur holt sich die unbewirtschafteten Feldränder zurück, Herb.
Sehr schön präentierst du auf dem PiP die stolze Burgruine.
HFF und ein schönes Wochenende
