Looking back at this date a year ago I note two things
I was nervous just riding Charlie in the school and I had been advised to leave hacking out until we had more consistency.
Well exactly a year on we find riding in the school a piece of cake. I had forgotten about the spins and naps until I read back over the year.
Hacking out is still an issue but reading back again I realise it isn't the issue it once was and now we just have to bolster up my confidence.
We had another mini hack with a friend on the 29th December and Charlie actually took over and led after the pony baulked big time at newly painted SLOW and 30 signs. We also had to turn around as he napped into us and turned back straight away.
We are still on Equifeasts Cool Calm and Collected and indications are that it is working as Charlie isn't as twitchy and frightening things are snorted at rather than run away from.
So hacking will only happen when the situation is right and to be honest currently the weather is gross.
