I rode this morning (got up at ten past five!!!).

First time I've ridden properly in about three weeks thanks to the stinky cold virus thingy :eek:

Anyhoo, she was a tad argumentative :cool:, but I was just about in control lol. Asked for a trot and wow, we were off and trotting at speed :rolleyes:. I told her to behave as she was scaring me and if she didn't pack it in I'd have to give her to D1 and buy me a rocking horse :p:rolleyes:

I kept thinking I musn't push it, etc. etc. etc. Being sensible it was the first ride, I'm unfit, not as balanced as I was... So we had a canter lol :D Alright, it was only three strides, but I did it twice and she stopped when I asked her to (was more argument coming down from the trot lol). I could feel her listening and it was almost like she was taking care of me :) :) :)

I'm going to keep taking it slowly and building back up to what we had and who knows, maybe one day we'll get even further :D.
 
That's brilliant. I hope you feel suitably and justifably proud of yourself.

That's one small step (aka 3 canter strides) for a (wo)man, one giant leap for mankind :)
 
Well done!

You must be exhausted now having been up since ten to five! Double hot choccie with cream and marshmallows for you! xxxxx
 
YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Dizbot and good MrsM! :D

Next time I see you you will be jockey seated bombing round fields!!

Thats really good news though well done! :)
 
Thankies, thankies, thankies all :D

I am indeed ridiculously pleased with myself :). Very miffed that my car died today and I can't get to the yard before having to go get a train :( Not much chance of getting back in time to ride either. Ah well. Next! :D Will, fingers crossed, be back on her on Thursday morning... depending on a meeting start time. I can't be at the yard before six a.m.
 
HaSM :D I may yet blame the head and/or the virus :o:rolleyes::cool::eek:

Dizz is so daft she's game for anything at any time lol. So saying I don't know what she'll be like when I'm having to bring her in from the field to ride ... :eek:
 
Hm. Just me testing the icon in the bottom right hand corner of the messae above - it's a Quick Reply one and may just be quicker/easier than the faff that is the usual way of posting a reply :)

Ah, but just realised that you don't get the smilies doing it this way :(

Pah.
