Inspired by my polo playing days I decided to ride and lead today to get both Jack and Soap hacked out, and I forgot how fun it was!
Both neddies were very good with just one crocodile moment from Jack (he will be wearing a flash next time!) when he decided it might be quite fun to pretend to bite Soap every other stride, he's such a charmer!
They soon settled and it was fab, so I was just wondering if anyone else rides and leads their eventers?... I am quite used to it as it was common practise in polo, and also at the hunt yard I used to help out at, but you don't see so much of it elsewhere.....
It also occured to me whilst we were out that I was sitting on 'BUY ONE' and leading 'GET ONE FREE'

Currently Jack is just led in a bridle with a length of chord looped between his bit rings, and a lead rope clipped to that, but if anyone has any inside knowledge about better set up/gear to use that would be great as a lead rope and reins is a bit of a handful, but it's the only way I have ever done it...
The end of a Toblerone, a cup of Lady Grey, and in about 20mins pasta, and meatballs if you get this far!
