The 2015 Horse Blessing service was held on Sunday afternoon, 9th August. and under a cloudless sky 16 horses turned up to be blessed by Revd Ann. You cannot imagine the different shapes and sizes of horse that lined up outside the church. Revd Ann led the singing of 2 popular hymms and also led the prayers dedicated to horses and the part they play in the world. The collection went to the Riding for the Disabled Charity and after the service Joan Pinkstone thanked everone for their generosity as over £124 was collected for her favourite charity. The Church yard mowers looked on in dismay as the parcels left behind by the horses will probably clog the mowers next Tuesday!! Stiil several of the horses did contribute to the grass cutting by eating the grass! A splendid service and a great tradition for our church.
If you would like to see more photographs of the service have a look at our gallery. If you attended you will probably see yourself!!
