My sharer had her kids out to see the ponies today and had them on Loki for a little wander up the path and back, apparently they had a great old time of it and her 5yo gave him a huge hug from the ground after they were finished 
She hadn't put the stirrups on the bareback saddle and so I decided to just give it a shot without stirrups for my hack
It's been a while but I actually did not bad, I didn't fall off at least
Had a few trots and a couple of canters and it all went pretty well so we popped our favourite log towards the end 
Awesome fun! I haven't done no stirrup jumping since I was a teenager but I stayed on!
It was another lovely hack today all round the woods - really really wish I had a camera phone because the scenery and views are fantastic! - and ended up wading through bracken as high as Loki's withers at one point without picking up ticks which must be a miracle!
The only downer on my day has been that my lovely sharer has handed in her notice to quit the share
Between looking after her three young children and her ill grandmother she just doesn't feel like she has the time, she hasn't ridden for a couple of weeks because she's been rushed off her feet
It's a bit sad because I really liked her as a person, she was an excellent sharer, she offered to do weekdays which is what ideally I wanted and she got on great with Loki So I've taken to facebook to re-advertise him again, wish me luck!
