Something different this Christmas from our Nordic adventure last year…
We set off this Christmas Eve morning for Loose Reins in the Dorset countryside. On the way stopped in to visit with Hebe and Blaze – to wish them a Merry Christmas.


Jane drove us to Loose Reins, an American Riding Ranch in Dorset – making sure we’re all settled before she left us … !




At the other end of the cabin …


The bathroom –




No dogs on furniture, the bed and we must be in the leash when outside!

We’ve broken every rule within the first seconds of being here!



May’s comment: In the beautiful corner of North Dorset is called The Blackmore Vale, and there is Loose Reins – a riding ranch! Embracing the pioneer spirit, the three cabins open for guests is that of American log cabins – with the authentic American quilt, woodburner and everything cosy about it.

Loose Reins is all about finding and enjoying that feeling, about discovering some wind-down time and enjoying the simple things in life. A perfect antidote after the busy weeks leading up to Christmas.
