We have now arrived at the Hackney Station. On the right, from the midst of roofs of houses and the thickly-planted trees in the churchyard and adjacent gardens, rises the picturesque tower of the old church; and to the right, the pyramidal tower of the new church. Looking leftward, we were somewhat puzzled at the appearance of several long ditches, or rather trenches, filled with running water, nearly covered with what we took to be weeds; but, upon inquiry, we found this was one of the artificial streams for the continual growth of watercresses for the London market, which affords a living to a great number of poor men, women, and children.
Taken in Hackney City Farm.
Hackney City Farm was established in 1984 inspired by the success of the newly formed Kentish Town City Farm. Their aim was to give youngsters and local people the opportunity to experience farming.

Hackney cross pony very quiet and people friendly. He reportedly drives but also took a rider today during the evaluation it appeared to be the first time he ever had a rider and he did great! You can see in the video below how calmly he handled everything and in hand how nice he moves he has a nice flowing suprisingly flat knee hunter type movement. With his calm disposition and nice fluid movment this boy is going to be a really nice mount for leadline or short stirrup. You have to watch him to appreciate him the pictures do not do this boy justice... $400 Note: placement fee's can and will change / fluctuate after quarantine with evaluations miles and training
