Been out long lining today...

[a kind of magic]

...and I feel as though my legs are about to drop off! I was long lining my hubby's mare on a hack whilst mine was ridden and I am so unfit...lost 3st 4 lbs and have another 2 st of baby weight to lose but feel so much better for a walk! Don't know what possessed me to go for a RUN with her too though!

Should I make hubby do it next time?

Ahh this is very inspiring! My boys on a holiday but come Christmas will be long reining in the cold!! but weight loss and a well behaved pony will motivate me!

I actually enjoy walking my mare out every so often , thinking of doing it more regularly to help me lose a few pound too!!!

I was thinking of Philly as an oversize Labrador...it helped! I do enjoy it, good exercise, good company and nice scenery... horse in question is only 4 but is so level headed and calm she is a joy to work with!

I do it occasionally with my daughter strapped in the backpack carrier for extra resistance...

Ha ha, whatever, its the only way I can exercise my horse because my farmer husband works all hours god sends, especially in daytime and I have no one else to look after her to ride. Can't say I enjoy it much but have no other option.

Warning, its a killer!
