We moved to a new yard before Christmas and I can safely say it's been the best thing I've ever done.
Did have the issue of Amber not loading, but had help walking her to the new yard (apart from a tiny spook at the police car flying past with sirens on, she was an absolute poppet), and "loading boot camp" is starting soon
Amber however, has decided that she loves the stable, and after a bit of initial separation anxiety, I can do everything with them individually without hysterics.
I've ridden Matti everyday this week, including our first hack together, with 5 other horses- he was a dude. We had a hack yesterday with two others and managed a canter, the only word to describe it would be awesome.
I've been lunging and in hand hacking Amber and Blossom too. Today I rode Amber in the school, she was amazing (I think they could see my grin from the space station). Then to top it all off, I put the saddle on Blossom which resulted in no reaction whatsoever. If that wasn't enough, I decided to hop on her bareback for the short walk to the field.
So my cheeks hurt from grinning, I could really do with getting a seat saver and am not looking forward to going back to work next week (want to do this all the time now), but am so bloody happy right now
Totally pointless post, but I will be adding photos when they've uploaded.
