The snow has melted!! Yayy

So rode Andy this morning and he was on edge but very good other than that. I tried him in the french link and he seemed to accept it better then the normal single jointed snaffle. Once he stopped bouncing around like a twit we actually had some nice work out of him :eek: Whose swapped my horse then?

We even did transitions without me getting ears in my mouth, I think the two weeks off has done him some good :)

So after a nice ride I turned him out in the field and he cantered to the bottom like normal, but a big lump of a horse who resembles a tank decided to canter towards him which caused him to turn sharply.

Cue Andy sliding about 2 metres on the floor as he fell over doing the turn!! Idiot! So I panicked, he hasn't got up yet so I run down the field to him and just as I get there he gets up and carries on cantering around. :confused:

BUT stupid me, I forget my blinking inhaler, cue near asthma attack! But I wanted to go and check Andy over makes sure he hasn't done any damage so after managing to catch him because the tank was chasing him around he has a minor cut on his leg which we treated and he's fine now.

I hate horses who look like tanks and I hate Andy for giving me heart failure!! 2nd horse in two months- that would have made me popular on here, I can see the names people would be calling me now :o
 
Frightening when they do that. I am on eggshells when Izzy goes out as its her first winter in the mud, she was on box rest last year due to a tendon injury. Glad Andy got up and seemed none the worse for his fall. I aim to ride tomorrow and no doubt she will be fresh and spooky, we hopefully will be off for hack out, weather permitting of course!!
 
I am so glad he is ok, it terrifies me if they are racing around on good ground let alone how it is at the moment. Glad your riding went well too, sounds like you are bonding well x
 
i think the time off does do them some good.

altho not when it makes them hoolie around like loonies!!

hope his cut's alright.
