Ambers Echo
Still wittering on
I still hate hacking. But I know I need to do it so every so often I put on my brave pants and take Amber out into the Big Wide World. But I only ever walk and trot on a hack unless I have boxed somewhere like a farm ride. I just feel so out of control in public spaces.
There is a meadow near our yard. Large, flattish. Perfect for schooling on grass, canter intervals etc etc. Only I have never done anything on there apart from walk across it to get to the bridleway on the far side of it. And even then I am nervous!
Well yesterday I (drum roll....) CANTERED. Woop woop. I am a long way off canter intervals on the side of a mountain but a short, flat canter on a grassy meadow is a start.....
