I'm so happy!
I have sat on Dolly a grand total of 2 times this year. Illness both physical and mental have meant that I have almost stopped riding.
Today for reasons unknown I was determined - at 6.30am this morning I made a deal with myself - If my jods still fit then I am bloody riding! Well they still fit, so we had a lovely 20 minute solo hack/mooch out <3
She was a bit sticky at a couple of points, but I just sat there and talked to her until she walked on, and to be fair you can't blame her when she hasn't been ridden out on a solo hack for over a year, and only been out twice for 5 mins at a time sine January. The girl did me proud though, and despite all my worries about my weight gain she didn't sweat a drop, and we had a brilliant morning together!
To anyone worrying about getting back on and doing it, if I can, then anyone can!
