Today my dream came true- beach ride

[Kokopelli]

Okay well it wasn't exactly golden sands and lapping waves but where we live this is the best we could do.
The wonderful brown mud of Breen Sands.

It was so windy but Andy was as good as gold (well as good as Andy gets) only got strong a few times. I even managed to hold him back as the grey with us (also and ex-pony racer) has to go in front and he was so good and only over took once.

So hope you like the pics and video (sorry its wobbly at first, it stops after a little while.) Got loads more piccies but don't want to be moved to pic gallery so here's one and the link to FB album.

Also some fab news! The second blood test we had done showed that whatever it was is now gone! Asked vet if it was okay to go for a gallop on the beach and he said yeah.

Lovely photo and great news about the blood tests!

You certainly do a variety of horsey activities. Andy must love his life with you!

Sounds amazing! Check put Andys elevation in that photo - bouncy bouncy!!

Where next with him??

 

[Kokopelli]

Thank you everyone. I do like to think he likes life with us, I try to keep his work varied as much as possible.

I don't know where next, we tend to just do things on a whim. Woke up this morning, fancy going beach and off we went.

I would like to go to some gallops with him. But also planning to do all the gymkhanna at the local shows.

Awesome news and all round awesome day! I bet you are smiling from ear to ear

 

[Kokopelli]

Yep smiling, I'm buzzing so happy.

Great that you got the bloods back so quickly and with good news!
And a celebratory beach gallop! Lovely pics. He looks fast!

 

[Kokopelli]

So glad there's nothing wrong. He's coming back in 3 weeks to take some more just so he can monitor him but he had cleaner bloods once we put him on ulcer supplement so we think it might be related.

He is very fast, I was even holding him back I reckon he could have gone up a few gears.

 

[Elsbells]

WOW!! Lucky you!!

 

[devilwoman]

aww you lucky girl, looks great, and andy looks like he's picking up really well and deffo enjoying himself, good news about the bloods, he's a lucky boy too

 

[nikkimariet]

Amazing pics! Clever Andy for behaving himself, glad you had a good time.

We used to have a TB pony who went like **** off a shovel, even when you overtake everything it always felt like there were 5 more gears!!

Wooo hooo get you and Andy having a ball at the beach he certainly looks loads better and it shows.

 

[azouria]

looks like you had a great time

 

[Kokopelli]

Thanks everyone it was so much fun, Andy is very wired up atm though althoug he seems a lot calmer after a quiet ride.
