Today I took my paperwork over to the yard where Drifter is on Sales Livery and turned down the chance to ride him as he is being an absolute saint and I was worried I might get on and start wanting to keep him.
However I did take out a rather scrummy little black cob for an hours hack and he was an absolute poppet and the reason why I am officially wierd is that he was only 5 and hasnt been broken long and there were instances of throwing his head around when he got tired.
As I rode along the track next to a big ditch with Blackie head tossing I thought how dumb is this if I was sat on Drifter I would have been in a flat panic and even tho Blackie is much younger and much less experienced I wasnt frightened perhaps its a size thing as the ground was already a lot nearer!
In fact I was itching to canter but he is young unfit and mega hairy and it would not have been fair.
