I had a very kind person help me whilst out hacking

[Keltic]

Just been for a hack out on Katie, the route i took takes me through 5 gates Arghhhhh! But hey ho practice makes perfect right? Went through the first 2 really well then its quite a bit of road work until i turned off the road back onto bridlepath. Someone had stuck an A4 poster onto the gate post of the 3rd gate it was in a plastic cover which was flapping and it was positioned exactly where i needed to get Katies head so i could do the chain on the gate, we went backwards, forwards, sidewards etc i couldnt get hold of the chain she wouldnt go near the poster!!
There is a lone house opposite and i heard someone call to me did i need an extra hand!! Bless this guy he came out of his house to open the gate for me, we got through no problem, I thanked him lots!! and we caried on our way through the next gate and she was a star, then into the little woods and we had a Turbo cob moment

it was uphill so it didnt last long!! lol! through the last gate and down the lane home.
How kind though of him to come and help me

Its nice to see that not everyone thinks horses should not be out in public.

It's nice to hear of people being helpful and thoughtful like that.

Ah whereabouts was that?? We had issues at the "please close the gate due to sheep in the field" sign near the hollies a few weeks back... on my friends unspooky cob!

 

[Keltic]

It was the gate off the main rd near the storage depot, i think its called Cat & Fiddle lane.....

Thought of you today

. Was our Halloween ride

. Okay, in my case it was a Halloween drive in the car lol

 

[Annagain]

If you can work out the address of the house I'd send a little thank you note - it's a nice gesture and from a mercenary point of view and it might mean he'll come and do it again for you!!!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Never been up there!! Didn't even know there was a bridleway... is it any good?!

There are some very considerate people out there.

I went for a hack today, was going through this lane and came across a car, I was at a t junction so stopped and waited for car, as car got near really slowed and asked if it was ok to pass, young man driving, I said it was and young man said thank you and nice horse you have there, mad my day.

There are a few out there. When I was sharing a couple of years ago I went on an extra long hack and we had to cross a level crossing. Normally bombproof horse wouldn't go over, and a man came out of a house and lead the horse across with me riding.

Bless!
