As some of you may know, nerves have been a big problem to me, so a couple of weeks a go I took the plunge and went for a ride on my fav horse.

Well today, it seemed like a good idea to go on a 3 hour hack!!!!!!!

Nrmal laid back horse, just wanted to go and go, at one point she was cantering on the spot, I had to hold her back nearly all the way round, and now I have got blisters on my hands.

I suppose it was a baptism of fire, and I survived :D

So right now I am happy, tired and sore, and enjoying a well deserved G & T
 
Well done, can truly empathise and what a lovely feeling when you have accomplished it, you deserve your G & T keep up the good work and let us know how you get on going forwards :-)
 
Thanks for your kind replies.

Today my shoulders, back and thighs are groaning.

I know now why I was soo trim and fit when I was riding every day :D

Yet another reason to kick the nerves into touch!!!
 
oh well done you!!!!!!!!!!!]
Im so so jealous - ive not hacked out yet and am absoluteley dying to - the school is boring me rigid!!!
(My horse does - friends take him out but im waiting till my instructor says we are both ready as we have to go on a very busy main road to get anywhere)
so pleased for you xxxxxxx
 
You will know when you are ready, I am hoping I did not take on to much with the 3 hours, as I was more than ready to get off after 1 !!!!!!

Good luck with the nerves, it is really horrible, especially after being a really confidant rider, apparantly my transistions are still good though :D, I have just lost all trust in my own ability.

Good luck with your journey, at least you can still ride your own horse that you have a good bond with, mine is now too old ( and he is the one that broke me :) ), so I have to ride others.

I will keep everything crossed for your first hack, it will be scarey, but you WILL love it
