So what did you do with your horses today?

[JoBo]

I clocked out early from work at 2pm and went for a lovely 2 hour hack though the woods on Bodey, just me and him. It was utter bliss, the woods smelt all damp and spring-like.

Badger had the day off.

So did you ride?

 

[blackmagic]

I got a very experienced friend of mine to ride Magic, just to see how she is going, and the answers were good

 

[Sprout]

Your ride sounded wonderful, I am very envious.

Sadly, I havent done anything with my three as I cant ride at the moment - great timing with a new pony I am itching to get to know!!!!

 

[H's mum]

erm... so far I turned them out and brought them back in!

Maybe if the rain stops I may hack out later on though

Sounds lovely! I lunged Pad for a bit then got my eventer friend to have a little jump play on him as I am a wet fish over 3ft! Was really nice to watch someone else jump him as I've never seen him jump before since I've been the one on him! Then a hose down, lots of cuddles, carrots then the joys of poo picking whilst little NF tried to knock my barrow over

Back to work tomorrow sigh!

 

[kellyeaton]

i lunged mine before i turned him out this morning was going to take him for a walk before he went to bed but it is to windy and cold!

 

[nobbster]

I went out on a lovely hack with my friend. We did the small block (which takes about 40 mins), but came back via our fields, so had a good canter and a great time, before realising we couldn't get out of them at the 'home' end, as new padlocks had been put on requiring keys instead of being combination locks! So we went back the way we had come in and back up the bridlepath to home. All in all about 2 hours. Baby one was very good and LOVED it. For the first time ever she stood still for gates, and we ended up opening or shutting about 5 of them in the end (one of us would open, the other would shut). My friend then DROPPED the chain and padlock, so we did some picking things up from the ground without getting up (with the help of my whip!). Also went through ditches and over humps of earth. Great time!

 

[Seahorse]

Axel had physio yesterday and needs 2 days off so I went and had a ride on my friends new horse and went for lunch, when we came back my other friend was there riding so I had a quick ride on her horse too!

I can't think the last time I rode another horse except Axey and I was a little bit nervous to start with but I really enjoyed it after a few seconds!

Can't wait to ride my own lovely horse now!

I tried Candyman in a new bit today.A myler comfort ported one and lets just say thank god I rode in the school. He managed to bugger off with me lol. I worked on his schooling getting him to bend around my leg,loads of serpentines and changes of rein and circles.He did go quite nicely for me apart from a lack of brakes lol.

 

[Hels_Bels]

I went for a walk across the moors

, I say walk but it was more of a gallop

with spooking here and there

, We have really high winds atm and every tree that rustled, well you no they were going to leap out and grab her

. And god forbid the cows i thought she was going to have a heart attack.

So much for a gentle walk

 

[jess_asterix]

put them in the field this morning bought them in at 12, went on walker for 1 hour and have just given them some tea.

Its raining and i have exams so couldn't ride tonight

 

[rara007]

Nothing

Not home tonight, left at 7.15am. I regret not getting up really early to ride, my alarm didn't wake me

 

[Kenzo]

Checked on him, gave him cuddle and an apple and told him to stay out of trouble

 

[scotsmare]

I have fed the yearling, consoled small pony who wasn't being fed.

Am about to go and pat the 4yr old and see how she's getting on today.

 

[MrsMozart]

The Back Man came today. It's his first visit, so was doubly interesting to see him in action. Neds all seemed to like him. Dizz needed a lot of work

. He was very thorough.

Mucked out. Poo picked. Re-rugged as the weather doesn't know whether it's coming or going

.

Tomorrow it's the dentist... the horsey one, I can't afford to go

.

 

[Hanz]

I lunged scribbles, spent ages getting poles out for him - horse sees poles and thinks he is jumping like the other day so wouldnt settle, ended up not using them

He's coming on lovely with the side reins though, over the past few weeks he's really filled out and starting to look like a handsome chap.

 

[amandaco2]

brought them in in the morning
ran out of work at 5.20
rode Kaya for 40mins and we were spot on with every canter transition so i am on a high now.
other two got a groom

 

[LittleSoph]

It rained alllll day here so I did nothing with mine

I had planned a hack on a new route I think I may have found. So now it's been rescheduled for a nicer day.

 

[toomanyhorses26]

we did some free schooling to try and get the ginger child to find his take off point rather than me having to set up every stride and think we made some progress - only trouble is he now thinks I am v scary

 

[Ranyhyn]

I did some jumping and my first ever spread!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

I rode my horse to see if she was sound. I don't think she was. Poo.

 

[Boxers]

I had to take daughter's pony (Toby) for his height certificate today. Now that he has won over £50 notional in BSJA he has to have a height certificate.

I have always thought he was about 146cm, but with his shoes off he became a midget 144cm !

He still jumps a 1m 10 track with scope for more!

And my other one, Manni, had a day off from work today - but will make up for it tomorrow when he has a session in the school and then a hack to relax afterwards.

 

[Flame_]

I jumped my 5 year old. I'm not meant to jump anymore because I've got a back injury and it makes it really angry and painful, but I've recently had it steroid injected and I am making the most of it.

I never thought I'd be so chuffed or excited to be playing over a few little cross-poles, but I was. I love my little horse, she is so much fun!

 

[checkmate1]

Did the quickest of quick schooling sessions to practice centre line and canter for dressage on friday. Realised I've been concentrating so much on canter transitions and forwardness my horse and I have forgotten how to ride circles and Indie claims she can no longer bend correctly! Will have to recap tomorrow before friday

 

[Donkeymad]

Got two of my girls pulling a carriage as a pair for the first time
