Teamchase today- dude my horse rocks!!

[RunToEarth]

I'm in such a good mood tonight. This is, to date, the first teamchase I have done with Starbucks which has not ended in me being so disgustingly drunk I pass out (last year on her sofa, with dog!)!!
I had a few worries about today for no other reason than I usually use the hunting to get horse teamchasingfit, and I hadn't been hunting until early feb

Oshk was super, really really enjoyed riding him.
He was an absolute nutter to warm up, sprung about everywhere and I was having trouble...moving forwards, we just seemed to go up- met up with fiona and katy, who I'm sure were less than impressed by our warm up performance.
The team kept very close together, a few hairy moments when I thought I might run into becca but I really enjoyed rising him today, he's like the overgrown pony with wings, its days like these that make me realise why I own the bouncy little man!!

aww lucky you

it's great to have a day when it all clicks into place huh. and Oshk is a real stunner, how old is he/what breed etc?

 

[RunToEarth]

Thanks

He is a 16hh, 8 yo irish masterpiece, I have no idea of his breeding- ISH type, which could mean anything!! Lots of fun though, think farrier puts springs on his feet instead of shoes, he is honestly never stood on all four feet!!

don't cha just loooove irish horses? lol

OMG I am so knackered today - I really need to get fitter before I do any more team chasing!

Well done you and Oshk!!
