I DID IT :-))) (hacking alone)

[Supertrooper]

Just got back, I very nearly chickened out but I knew I would be dissapointed in myself so that pushed me into doing it.

I had two good slugs of rescue remedy before hand and off we went, he planted once just before coming out of our gateway but I purposefully wore my wellies (I know not ideal) so I could tap my whip on them, it worked like a dream. He was a bit spooky/jumpy but nothing too bad and at silly things like a open gate, different coloured hedge etc (typical horse eating things) but I talked/sang to him the whole way. We did a horsey version of 'if you're happy and you know it' - good job that it's rare to see traffic cause they'd think I was nuts ;-)

Now going to treat myself to sausage/mash/gravy with ice cream for afters!!!

Thanks for all your support/advice earlier xxxx

Now go and add a glass of wine to the Sausage and Mash - you deserve it!

Well done you! I shall have a glass of wine in your honour, plus maybe a choccie.

Fab. I remember the day I got my boy out on his own (and came back all in one piece!) after everyone said it couldn't be done. Well we did it - and I still remember how sweet success tasted.

Keep going for it!

It's the best feeling in the world when you crack it, well done! I remember the first time I got mine back out again by himself after he'd been difficult for some time so had had to hack with others. It was fantastic.
