Some of you may or may not know that I have left Mote Farm now, and so have given up the rides on the MFSS stallions.
I was really gutted as I was asked to ride Merlin at the preparing to win seminar at the hand EC in November, and thought I would not be able to do it, as all of my rides are now too green or too advanced....
WELL this evening I had a lesson with Emile on my Advanced Medium stallion, and he had heard about my current situation... He has only gone and offered me the ride on one of his 4 y/o Stallions at the Seminar!!
I must have looked like a complete idiot riding around for the rest of my lesson with a big stupid grin on my face! I feel so honored that he would trust me to show off his horse well in front of 800 odd people!! He is also a son of his own stallion, that he is riding at the seminar himself!
Sorry for the self indulgent post, it has just really cheered me up as the decision to stop riding Merlin, snoopy etc, was a VERY difficult one, and I have been finding coping without them very hard!
