I Rode Little Cob Today

[MrsMozart]

I was a very bad mummy and 'borrowed' Little Cob from Daughter1...

.

He hasn't been ridden for about three weeks.

He hasn't been out for a week.

He hasn't hacked out in a good few months.

He was an absolute star

. Okay, so we had a few bounces (think little excited bucks and rears), and a bit of a tank off when I wasn't concentrating, but on the whole he was absolutely brilliant

. Daughter1 took him out when we got back (we'd only been out for max. twenty minutes), and she was miffed that I'd 'nicked' all his bounce lol. Bad Mummy. Bad

. Bad

. Bad

.

Big Cob went with us and he too was an absolute treasure

Pointless post, just wanted to share this thing called Riding - it seems so long since we've done any!

I love cobs!!! used to ride the most awesome one at inter-uni riding competitions. I haven't ridden since defore xmas now (partly snow and partly due to currently being horseless!)

He sounds fun! Where is the photographic evidence?

I rode today for all of about 5 mins. Was really excited to be riding again but couldn't work out whey she felt so odd. Looked down and realised that the sand was sticking to her feet like the snow does! The surface was clearly so cold it was making sand balls.

you lucky things MrsM, im fed up of not riding, seems so long ago since I sat on one of my hos's.
glad you had a great time - lol at you nicking all his bounce

 

[MrsMozart]

Indeed cobs rule!

Hm. Don't think anyone took any piccies... Good job really - it's been so long, I'd forgotten how to do it

. Just lucky I managed to get on facing in the right direction lol.

'Nicked his bounce' - Thats a fab way of putting it

I would also be miffed

Glad you all had fun

He was very, very bouncy

. I couldn't stop cackling

. He doesn't do anything naughty or try to get the rider off in any way, it's all pure excitement and fun

. Though the buck/rear at the top of a slippery hill did get a "Whoa there lad!".

Sounds like fun MrsM, glad you enjoyed the bounce!

I'm supposed to be having a riding lesson on Friday if snow melted and have warned my instructor that pony (cob cross!) has only been ridden 3 times since 14th December and not been turned out for best part of 2 weeks all due to the weather apart from gentle daily meander around yard. He texted me back "We'll cope!" and I felt like saying yes, you'll cope cos you won't be on his back but what about me!

Sounds great

*stomps off muttering "jealous, jealous, jealous"*

 

[CaleruxShearer]

I love it when Shearers bouncy, I went out with a friend once and we speed bunny hopped all the way along a grass verge, It was hilarious!

 

[Cheiro1]

YAY go MrsM!!!

daughter1 can come and take some of my girls bounce if LC needs some, she got plenty to spare!!

 

[Natch]

Really glad you rode and had a good time

I think bouncy bouncy may be a feature of lots of people's rides once the weather improves. I am pretty sure it will be on Frankie's agenda - you should see him in the field without any encouragement

 

[Riverboy]

MrsM What is this riding you speak off - its been months and months for me - and the snow is delaying the rehab programme... ho hum... very envious!

 

[Ranyhyn]

Big love to LC

he sounds like a dude! x
