Guess what I just did (disgustingly proud mother post)...

[Jesstickle]

and of little interest to anyone but me I expect.

I just laid over my little grey horse.

Went in the school to long reign and she was very good as always. Stood her up next to the mounting block and jumped up and down and banged her saddle a bit and as she clearly didn't give a monkeys I had a little lean. That didn't register at all so I leant right out and picked my feet up. She just stood there sniffing my now dangling feet. Did it a couple of times on both sides. So pleased with her as she didn't care one jot and stood like a rock despite having no one at her head

Makes up for the fact I had to run so she could trot. Seriously, I am sooo unfit! Most undignified

Yay, clever Nitty pony

 

[dafthoss]

Go nitty!!!! and well done you for making her such a lovely young girly.

 

[Jesstickle]

I'd say it's a shame no one had a camera but she looks such a scruff at the moment I'm not sure I'd want a photographic record!

 

[dafthoss]

I'll come photograph I'm off untill middle of jan now and I have to go to cambs some time this week to pick a parcel up.

I'm off work on Friday if you want to come and ride BH? He's sort of on holiday (because I can't be bothered to do both of them) but I'm sure he could cope with a pootle round the school. I could make jumps for you, he'd like that

 

[dafthoss]

Yeah that sounds fun although the less photograpic evidence of me on BH the better

 

[Ibblebibble]

isn't it just a damn good feeling when you lean over or get on for the first time and don't end up in orbit

Ahh bless her wee cottons, what a smart girl. Well done I love the look of your wee grey, how old and how big is she now?

 

[Piaffe63]

Well done! Thats so brilliant!

 

[JFTDWS]

Yep. Although I think it'll be fine up until the first canter with this one. Then I'll be for it

Ahh bless her wee cottons, what a smart girl. Well done I love the look of your wee grey, how old and how big is she now?

I suppose she must be about 15.2 by now? And she's three and three quarters almost exactly. I'm going to try and have a proper sit on and a walk about over the Christmas holidays and then she can go away again until the spring.

I am especially happy as I really thought she wasn't going to make it as a ridden horse this summer, what with her pesky hock and all.

Aww well done Nitty! She looks lovely from the photos you've posted before

Woohoo! Congrats! I was hoping this post would be something along these lines. Nits is absolutely gorgeous, look forward to see some pictures of her under saddle.

Clever Nitty pony

 

[BlairandAzria]

Good girl nitty! I do like the look of her, she's gorg! You should be proud!

 

[MrVelvet]

Ahh yay Well done! I hope to be the same soon, I have leant over his royal highness in the stable but not yet outside! I too hope to have a little pootle over the Christmas Holidays xx

 

[lochpearl]

Yay Nitty!! and well done you for doing it alone!! However I feel like that sometimes that you just get the urge and the time is right and it all just fits into place!! Can't wait for updates next year!!

 

[Jesstickle]

Ah, thanks all

Will attempt a photo on Friday. Will be the first time I'll actaully be able to do her in the daylight. Stupid work!
