YIPEEEEEE !!!! so good to be back in the saddle. Done 10 mins in the school, got bored and done some road work.

Waterford Loosering Bit, seemed to work a treat. Although they always seem to work the first time used. He tried hangining off my hands a couple of times and found that he could'nt !! He then decided to get rather frustrated by it and started the old throwing the head around trick !! Thank god I played safe and put on his martingale. More annoyig when he does it on road work though, as people look at me as if to say 'are you in control ??'

Got to off road bit and had a trot. We then had a canter, only little one, he tried to buck but again found that he could not lean on my hands to get his head down, so had a nice controlled canter. Bless him, he wanted to go faster and have a nice gallop and leg stretch !! Felt quite mean not letting him go, but hey ho !!

Got back to yard and thought would have aother canter in skool, bad move, opened gate and caught foot in it, have sprained it again !!! DOH !! not half as bad but no riding tomorrow for me !!!

Such a good day but soo annoying to do foot over such a stupid thing !!

Pointless post really, just so chuffed

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle

Heh I had a short hack today with a friend from the yard and it was my first ride in nearly a month lol. Still with the better weather and once the farrier has been ( as barefoot has not suited him except over winter but now he keeps finding stones everywhere so I'm having him reshod as it is not fair on him if he is feeling the ground like that). But I can understand your elation of being back on board as I get that feeling after I have ridden as I have not done much over winter and by eck I'm looking forward to the summer.
Sorry to hear about your ankle, I know how painful they can be. Hope you're soon out of hobble mode and back in the swing of things again.
Have fun
