I Cantered On My Hack Today....

TWICE

I am so happy! I get very nervous about cantering in fields,the people at my RS know so they put on the YM old boy who has great brakes and is really sensible First canter was up a small hill and we went really steady, the second on was along a track and some the ponies got excited but good horsey I was riding didn't get wound up and even though he got overtaken by 3 others stayed at the same speed and came back to trot when I wanted

Really pointless post but I'm happy I have to share Now just to work on XC *gulp*

Well done!! Cantering uphill is a really good idea if you are nervous as most horses will run out of steam all by themselves by the top of the hill!

Yay well done you! I know exactly how you feel - I was too scared to canter up until about 9 months ago, but had first gallop for 17 years last weekend! Keep building confidence, and the XC will come no problem. I am off to try some next month!!

Well done you, I have spent about 2 years being too scared to canter in open spaces, but recently I have got my confidence back and it is such a great feeling
