Took gypsy to a local yard for a dressage lesson today and he was really good! (for him :P) he spun around once which was soon nipped in the bud and didn't do it again and he was super good for the rest of the lesson :D
My dad managed to be sneaky and put my reflective and a note saying 'taken trailer ride home' so looks like I've been forces to hack home alone! :rolleyes:
As some of you know gypsy doesn't really do hacking alone, especially not the route he usually does alone, so this was completely new to him. He had ridden this route before just not alone.
Super super super proud :D we even rode past two horses on the road going the opposite way and he didn't flinch :D we even had a sneaky gallop across a field to make it shorter as it was about 3 miles road work for him with only front shoes on!
The only thing he did was jump a mile at some scary cows standing on a huge puddle in the hedge! :rolleyes:

Cookies for everyone who listened to me blabbing on! Just super proud of the boy! :P
 
So pleased for you, Isn't it great when they do good ? I'm chuffed to bits with my 4 year old at the moment, who seems to have grown up overnight, so I can well understand how nice it is for you and Gypsy to achieve these milestones.
 
Cows are pretty scary though....:)

Glad you had a good lesson, sounds like progress in all respects to me!!

Get dad to take pics next time and not go home without you!!!
 
Thanks guys :)
Horserider- it's ok if they're 4... But gypsys 10! Even the instructor had to ask twice how old he was when he started having a paddy like a 3 year old! :rolleyes:

Haha try telling him to stay and take pics! You'll get a 'pi55 off I'm going to see a man about a dog'(ie pub!) atleast gyp had the experience of being alone, the more the merrier!
