That I love my pony
Today was Snoops 2nd ever xc schooling session, this time at Aston le Walls. I invited a friend with an equally inexperienced pony and Tigers_eye with the highly talented William aka Mr Naughty.
I was running late, and arrived 30 mins later than planned, friend was already waiting and T_E was still stuck on the Motorway.
Anyway, went off to the field to have some fun. We started off just trotting and cantering around then went off for a splash in the water. Snoopy was far more bold and literally just dropped his head and stepped in.
After that I trotted him through but he was keen and cantered boldy through soaking us both in the process.
Off then to the two rails in the middle of the field, those jumped really well and i incorporated the water and jumped out over the house. Well bold as brass he jumped the lot.
On then to the ditch and rail and he popped sweetly over this without question.
T_E had then entered the field with the gorgeous William.
Whilst she was warming up, I went off and played a bit more, this time popping the ditch to rail again, up and over the bank, over a hanging log over the house and into the water, the big novice hedge out of the water and over the coffin fence. Feeling really confident i kicked on to the trakenher and he soared over that without a look.
Poor T_E had come to give me a lead, but I didnt need one.
Vic then went off and showed us how the it should be done making nothing of any of the novice fences, bouncing into the water and over a triple skinny brush fence without the aid of any wings.
William looks like he will quickly upgrade to Intermediate and at only 6 years old too.
Whilst walking round, my friend had some problems with her little mare, so uncle William became the lead horse he had come for after all lol.
Back at the lorry and Astons owner came over, she thought snoopy was lovely and that if i was ever interested in selling
However, methinks she may have changed her mind after seeing him playing silly buggers when we tried to load him.
After such a super afternoon, the little git had to remind me that HE IS BOSS and that he didnt want to go home arghhhhhhh.
Thankfully he got bored after 10 minutes and walked happily into the lorry, but not before he removed the door hinge arghhhhhhh.
Enough of this totally self indulgent post, but i cant stop
Thanks for reading.
