Baby pony has her first long hack by herself and is a star :D

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Well S and I went for our first epic hack all by ourselves She didnt have the greatest of confidence out hacking when I first started riding her and anything from a bike to a driveway gate to a tree stump had her planted in the middle of the roads shaking and sweating and squeaking bless her

So we started floowing D out with DM as company for me Now she got really good and was happy to follow along so we kept going the longer hacks with him and I took her the same shorter one by myself. Now we have been doing the same hack now for 4 weeks and frankly Im bored and shes anticipating everything and is going well so decided to change it up abit and see how we got on

Our usual hack is around 45mins both on and off road but today we were out for a good 2 hrs and used all gaits and even popped a few fallen logs that hadnt been cleared since the bad storms

She was a star we only had one plant but no shaking, or sweating or squeaking just stood for 5 mins and let her count all the scary sheep in the pen then we crept past whilst making sure the pony munching sheepies stayed where they were She was hilarious then once we were past she forgot all about them

So a very happy BB and one very clever baby S very proud of her today

So pics

What lovely hacking you seem to have and what a lovely pony. You are very lucky I would love to hack my horse around like that.

Well done lovely to hear I have a black beastie baby just backed fell who will be flying solo soon, also have a bigger bay thing who I think is going to be more hairy of a ride.

Lovely pics and a great post sure you are very proud.

Thank you PP and TF

The hacking is fabulous and on national heritage sites so lots to see and some gorgeous views buildings and castles

I'm hoping we have turned a corner with her hacking and riding in general, she has come on sooo well in 8weeks very proud x
