not the quiet hack i'd hoped for

after working in the school today, my daughter and I took neds round the block for a cool down.
Decided to take the short route back up the road next to the gallops.

Low and behold half way up two neds come thundering past on the gallops, my mare decides a lion 'must' be chasing them so proceeds full pelt up the road, my poor daughter was having kittens (she's quite a nervous rider) luckily she was on my old boy who 99% of the time is golden. I manage to pull mare to a scretching halt at the top of the hill and turn around to check on daughter, her ned is getting a bit upset about being left behind (he's too lazy to tank off) but decides to start dancing around nonetheless. As i turned to face her mare tanks back down the road full pelt. A car has now pulled up behind my daughter. Im going full throtle down the hill and manage to pull mare to a halt.
I don't think i'll take her on that route again

Poor you and your daughter. Thats the trouble with hacking, you just never know what you are going to be faced with. Hope you are both ok.
 
no worries we are both fine i was only worried about daughters safety at the time as its taken a long time to get her back on a horse after her pony died, but luckily after the initial shock, she was kissing old ned and chuffed he didn't tank off too. (he's the ned in the last two piccys in signature), - bless his cotton socks that he's so lazy sometimes
