Your horse is?
I realised this today. I take him for granted a lot, when really I shouldn't. Today is a perfect example of why.
Tacked him up and jumped on in high winds, I jumped more at the creaky fences than he did! Didn't step a foot out of line all the way to the New Forest. On forest, met some other riders who he went past without question, some flappy plastic flew at us and he merely stared...then a sudden scream and a riderless horse flew past us. He kept his head and only followed (through thick trees!!) when I decided to go after the pony. Let me check him when we got to boggy bits and let me direct such that I didn't get my head whiped out by a low hanging branch.
Found horse with some other riders, found the rider and reunited them...then rode home thinking how lucky I am.
Gushing post really but anyone ever had a similar moment?
