Saturday 2 February - Ian needed to film a "place" or a "space" for his production class. So he decided to film the white horse in Westbury. A classmate, Emily agreed to drive and Ian's project partner, Justin also came along. Getting to the Horse was a bit complicated but it was well worth the journey. The horse is quite beautiful from the distance and once you reach the site there is a small park. The Westbury White horse is the oldest of the Wiltshire White horses. The horse there today however, is not the original. In 1778 the original horse was reshaped and enlarged and was changed again in the 1800s. The horse now is made of cement painted white. The horse is located on a steep cliff, at the edge of an iron age fort. When we were at the top the winds were tremendous. I walked down the very steep slope to the bottom of the horse but it was quite frightening so whoever made the horse must not have been afraid of heights. On the way home we stopped in a Pub where I had a glass of cherry wine to warm me up. A very nice outing.
