HAPPY NEW RIDE!

A beautiful day

What a fantastic start to 2013 a brilliant sunny day. I decided today was the day to do more stuff and had yet another cunning plan.

I had not lunged in the Pessoa since I was told I could start riding 5 days ago. So today we did some Pessoa work thank goodness he hadn't forgotten and we did a little canter on each rein which I think is improving but that may be wishful thinking. I made sure we had yard company and mounted up. We had a bit of a mooch around and then Harriet came and sat with us while we rode.

I invoked the master plan

Harriet was ready to go and get her horse JB , Charlie's field buddy, in. So Charlie and I hacked down the track with her to the field and back again. It felt so good to be out on the lethargic boy.

It's really important that I walk out rather than just in the school because I tend to get locked in to riding indoors.

So Yippee Kay AY bring it on just a shame 20 minutes of walk can be so tiring. There will be photographic evidence but as ever I am waiting for Harriets Photos.
