Hunting, hurty ankles, baby horse, my lad's sudden 'enlightenment'....

Start with hunting this morning....horse was 110% angel and got top marks! Spent most the morning on the buckle which was bliss! Very grateful for being able to take him :D

Got back all happy and smiley, to then be spooked with and trampled upon turning out. Having the full weight of 16.3 of horse going through one metal shoed hoof standing directly onto your ankle bone and then twisting on it....hurts alot! Had a nice blue ankle within less than a minute, which was probably record setting even for me! So sat here with a nice fat ankle a the moment. :)

Baby horse is utterly fabulous. Hacking now and even just learnt back up bless him :) Hoping to get him out for a days hunting if he carries on how he is!

And my lad...has had a week of boot camp lunging and bungee-ing and got backon him last night and he absolutely floated, started lowering and properly working round and stretching and softening to the bit and jumped fantastic! :D Did want to ride him again tonight and carry on with it...if I can put my boot back on my ankle lol!

Ouch, hope your ankle feels better soon. Sounds like a fun day though.
Well I am off work today, hence being on here all day! I have been so lazy and done nothing! I was up early as I had the farrier at 8am though he did not arrive until 8.30! I did some chores up the yard and have been home since about 9.30 and barely moved off the sofa, its been quite nice for a change.
Tomorrow will be busier, I plan to ride, tidy the house, get a wedding present sorted and then drive me and some others to an evening wedding party, its an hour away so I am driving and not drinking, just too pricey to do all that.
So today a sloth and tomorrow I should be a busy little bee.

I am just contemplating a little ride this afternoon but Seren was head to toe in mud when I turned up this morning! Not sure I fancy brushing her down, plus I do not tend to ride the same day she is shod because of her sensitive feet, I do like to leave it a day :D And I think its gonna chuck it down too, so I shall probably remain fairly lazy :D
 
Ouch hope your ankel is ok. Sounds like you had a fab morning hunting. I'm not jelous at all :(.

This morning it chucked it down with rain just as I wanted to take horrid out for a ride :mad: so I waited for it to stop and went up to lunge him instead. He was a star. :D Gone are the hour long battels to get one circle :D:D He did walk, trot and canter like a little pro. He now lunges in side reins and I am starting to see some mucel on his back end. YAY he's looking like a proper pony instead of a barrel with legs :D:D. Then I poo picked the fields, Then cycled to tescos. I've just had Lunch and now i'm about to take the dogs out in the forest. I'm praying for better weather tom as (I can't believe i'm saying this ;)) I realy realy want to take horrid for a hack. :D :D.

Anyway thats my day so far. Sending you some HHO ((((((((vibes))))))) for your ankel. Hope it feels better soon. :)
 
Aw thankies haha!!

Ah I know it TIPPED it down earlier :( Had lightening and everything! Luckily got back home by then lol. :)

Awww I love Horrid :D he's so cute haha! Bring him out hunting for the day haha!
 
I have hunted him twice last season. When I first got him. He was quite well behaved if a bit lazy but he was very unfit. The last time I took him he was quite naughty though and did leap about in the middle of the road when I was trying to hack back to the lorry. Then the little sod wouldn't load and I had to hack him 4 miles home :mad: I made him trot the whole way. The main problem with hunting this year is I have no job at the mo so no money and it's so expencive :( Hopefully i'll get him out afew times later in the season. Maybe thats what i'll ask for for xmas. A couple of days hunting. :p :D :D :D
