One swallow does not make a summer; but seven families of swallows, a baking hot day in May, all the horses, stables, cross country course, showjumping field, indoor school etc., and a multitude of events like dressage, pony gymkhana, clear round, accumulator show jumping, pairs cross country and more, makes for a wonderful Show Day 2000 at Orchard Cottage Riding Stables.
     We swallows have arrived and nested and spent the day looking around and swooping down; so from vantage points like the rafters in the top of the barn (see photo at the top of the page) we bring you our photographic tour.
