There's a long story behind this photo. When you look at it you think, "awe a little boy and his horse!" but it took so long to get to where we are now.
Storm, the mustang, arrived at Pasture Pals Equine Rescue on November 23, 2014. He was flea bitten and lived his whole 10 years of life in a 10x10 stall, never turned out, never broke, never trained. When he was brought to the rescue, he was even afraid of stepping out of the trailer on to dirt. He was scared of everything, and still to this day won't let people touch him without being coaxed in to it. Even then, he's very temperamental about where we touch him, and for how long we touch him.
The Ninjababy told me today "I wanna go say hi to the white horsey!" I said "Ok! Good luck with that!" and he climbed up on to the rails of the round pen. I look over and watch this wild stallion walk up to my 4 year old and start smelling him. I was so nervous about this because he is so skiddish of people, and was thinking of a way to tell my husband why our son no longer had a face. Suddenly, the horse was asking him to touch him. The ninjababy rubbed his face, his back, his backside, over and over again.

The caption information on the back of this picture from July, 1989, still leaves a few questions unanswered. It reads: "Pictured leaving the Arbroath Venture Trust Ofices for Cherrybank on Tuesday morning are from left - Steve Wales, Colleen Mochan, Faye Gillies, Moira Wallace, Kelly Cruickshanks, Bill Gilmour, Graham Henderson, Wilma Maver and Laurie Smith."
All Saints, Shirburn, Oxfordshire.
Grade ll listed.
The Earls of Macclesfield have owned Shirburn Castle since 1716. The north transept of All Saints' Church contains their family pew and the north chapel is the Macclesfield family mausoleum. - See more at: www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurch...
Shirburn Castle is a fortress - even today. I understand even Dr Pevsner was unable to gain access for the Oxfordshire volume of his Buildings of England books.
I have read the church is also difficult of access despite it being a Churched Conservation Trust church, but I have to say the people in the Shirburn Estate office were very accommodating.

Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire, 1590-97.
Probably by Robert Smythson (1535-1614).
For Elizabeth, Countess of Shrewsbury - Bess of Hardwick (1527-1608).
Grade l listed.
The High Great Chamber.
The chairs and stools are copies of the originals. They were made in the 6th Duke's time, c1845.
The 6th Duke also re-mounted the great embroidered canopy, bearing the arms of Countess Christian and her husband the 2nd Earl of Devonshire.
This is the most individually Elizabethan room in Hardwick, and the most magnificent. The decoration was not completed until 1599, two years after Bess had moved into the house. The room was designed as a unity, with freeze, tapestry and chimney peace fitted together into a whole glowing with incident and rich colour. The colours have faded and the contrast between the sophistication of the tapestry and the crude but immensely provocative realism of the freeze is less strong that must once have been.
Hardwick was home to Bess of Hardwick (1527-1608), one of the most formidable women of Elizabethan England. She was the matriarch of the Cavendish family, building Chatsworth with her second husband and returning to build the two great halls at Hardwick after her separation from her fourth husband the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury.
In 1855, on the advice of Ruskin, the courtyard was roofed in and given Italian arcades on square pillars and an arched gallery, the architect being John Dobson of Newcastle. The walls on north and south, pillars and spandrels were all painted. The eight large paintings completed 1856-61 are by William Bell Scott, a Newcastle follower of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Cliveden (pronounced Klivd'n) is an English country house and estate in the care of the National Trust in Buckinghamshire, on the border with Berkshire. The Italianate mansion, also known as Cliveden House, crowns an outlying ridge of the Chiltern Hills close to the South Bucks villages of Burnham and Taplow. The main house sits 40 metres (130 ft) above the banks of the River Thames, and its grounds slope down to the river. Cliveden has become one of the National Trust's most popular pay-for-entry visitor attractions, hosting 524,807 visitors in 2019.
Cliveden has been the home to a Prince of Wales, two Dukes, an Earl, and finally the Viscounts Astor. As the home of Nancy Astor, wife of the 2nd Viscount Astor, Cliveden was the meeting place of the 'Cliveden Set' of the 1920s and 30s—a group of political intellectuals.
Later, during the early 1960s when it was the home of the 3rd Viscount Astor, it became the setting for key events of the notorious Profumo affair.
After the Astor family stopped living there, by the 1970s it was leased to Stanford University, which used it as an overseas campus. Today the house is leased to a company that runs it as a five-star hotel.
