after weeks, if not months of worrying about it, having nightmares about it, not being able to think about it without feeling sick and shaking... I DID IT!!!!:D:D

I DROVE DONOVAN OUT ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!:o:o:o:o:o
 
That is amazing considering what you have been through and just shows what a special boy Donovan is- Well Bloody Done!!!
 
I absolutely loved it! Started out with a death grip on the reins, but by the end I had almost forgotton where i was!!
 
Well done, you!

You have all my admiration, quite apart from your history, which would have been enough to put many people off for ever, I really can't get on with driving, although we've had many ride and drive horses, as I always feel to be leaning forwards towards the horse and feel in danger of falling off the front of the vehicle.
 
Unfortunately I couldnt take pics and drive at the same time!!!
Went up at 5, not realising we were going out on the road, although I knew it was gonna be soon. Got there, Sonny said, get tacked up we are going out on the road, and I went into meltdown! I was shaking!! Litteraly trembling as I am trying to do up the buckles on his harness. But then I got on board and we got going. I had the choice of which way to go, we went down a huge hill, trotted almost all the way round, met a few cars, the first I just sat there and said 'what do I do?' Not sure what I was expecting the answer to be!! We were out for about 45 minutes, got back and I gave him a hot shower, while quietly shedding a couple of tears in private!! Then went out and backstepped whilst Sonny took another one out. A really good end to a day!!
