Nounnat

[claerwen]

Nounnat (a French name, with a silent "t") is a charming, likeable, fit and very willing Camargue pony with boundless energy; after a long canter yesterday, following a bigger horse in driving rain, she didn't seem the least bit tired and was still trying to push forward. She has the looks to go with it all, too, and it's a great pleasure to ride

I know the Camargue still has ponies roaming wild - was Nounnat on of them ?
Hot shower - is this a new feature of Roe, am I misremembering, or did it happen elsewhere ?

Anyway, good to hear from you again.

She is the same breed as the wild ponies, but I think she was bred at a stables.

No, Roe has always had one - but at first when we got her back to Cambridge after having the gearbox replaced, her batteries were shafted, so when we first moved on until we got replacements we didn't often have enough juice to run the water pump for long enough to shower.

I had no idea Nounnat was spelt like that :) Now I'm feeling very keen to go riding again...

I'd no idea spelling could inspire such enthusiasm.
