Bad ride today

[jenbleep]

Sigh is anyone else's horse going a bit wild lately?!

I took Charisma out for a short(ish) ride this evening after she had a day off after an event on Saturday.

Well she pulled, yanked, spooked, span all the way around the block! I ended up getting so mad at her (which by the way I know not the best idea with a spooky horse!!) and felt really bad afterwards for shouting at her and generally being a bad rider Poor C probably wondered what the thought was this woman posessed doing her on her back

At least I can take comfort in the fact that she isn't really going to remember and her last memory of me is giving her a bucket of feed

Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this way?!

I suppose tomorrow's another day

I was riding and said horse stopped dead in his tracks and refused to go forwards, I was patient for a while, then nothing on this earth would move his front legs, I shouted OH for *censored *sake, will you *censored*move, you stubborn *censored* horse! With that a man popped out from behind the hedge with handheld shears and said ohh sorry I think I may be the reason your horse won't go past!

I have never been so embarrassed in all my life and I rarely swear too!!!!


So YES to you lol xx

HEHE... that reminds me!!

You know when you sometimes step aside for someone and they step the same way and so forth and ends up in a little jig ?... Well by dog did that with another dog at a pedestrian crossing once, made me laugh for weeks!! xx

Oh believe me a few years ago I would write on here and stress about every awful ride I would ever have, just really needed to vent today! I know she's fine and she doesn't hate me I don't like shouting at her but we obviously had a lovers tiff tonight, happens to everybody

I'm not riding for a couple of days now anyway so we have time to calm down

What accident?

Haha why do people do that? On my ride today a guy with a dog was up ahead I saw him go behind the bush and wait for us, I couldn't say anything as we were quite far back then we got closer and I coudl feel Charisma looking and then jumped 10 feet in the air

Public sevice anouncement: if you are walking please don't hide in the bushes, horses would rather you made yourselves seen as much as you can!

Just remembered the time we got caught out by the sun going down hacking home allong a disused railway line - we were doing a fairly brisk trot and luckily wearing flourescent tabards when a woman fell out of a bush almost sobbing. All she could see were two refective strips bobbing 7 feet up in the air coming towards her - I think she thought we were ghosts or aliens, but I remember being unable to console her as I had my coat sleeve in my mouth!
