Last time we were journeying around St David’s Head on our usual pilgrimage, we came upon one of life’s most wondrous sights. Wild horses were roaming and frolicking and trotting around the sunsetting clifftops.
It was such a moment of divine spectacle that I had tears in my eyes. There’s something very mythical and spiritual about these hairy horses, guarding the cliff paths and quietly chewing on the cud of grassland.
They are actually owned by local farmers – so not as wild as one might think. They are still incredibly beautiful though and stay up on the hillsides whenever the weather will allow it. It is such a blessing if you ever come across them.
Of course you must also be very respectful of them. Under no circumstances should you try to ride the horses or smack their bottoms and shout “Giddy Up!”. This is just not in keeping with how you should observe a horse in the wild.
The thing to do is to put your hands behind your backs and then turn to your fellow walkers and say “aren’t they magnificent” while eating a kitkat.
So come and visit our wonderful holiday cottage where you can see such wonders. It sleeps six and is self-catered.
