However today we reached a milestone in our hacking out.
We hacked out with one other horse and Charlie was magnificent. He Took the lead several times when his companion was being a bit of a Jesse. It was all road work because we realised there was a mad Motorbike trail going on in the woods. Part of it was in the lanes too and we went past lots of trail bikes then later motorbikes with sidecars (I shied he didn't) and met several groups of cyclists on a road race.
He led his companion under a railway bridge and later on past a sheet that had blown onto a grass verge he was magnificent very much the horse I fell in love with when I bought him.
We rode through a village with parked Cars everywhere and unfortunately got separated as his companion pulled into a gap to let a car go past. We were in front and the gap she though we would stand in was too small. If Charlie had decided to play up there wasn't enough room. We trotted on to a big gap opposite a builders yard and parked him up in the gateway.
I looked back and thought oops his pal is a long way back. Was he worried? Nope he confidently stood there and waited for his Pal to join him.
Happy days!
