At 11:30 I will just be getting on a horse again, first time in nine years I think :-)

Lost another 3lbs this week at fat club lol so I'm know in the 14 stone bracket :-) :-)

I bought myself some bright pink jods of eBay and on the way is a huge horse shop so with buy some boots:-)

Have a great day everyone, I know I will lol
 
Have lots of fun , I didn't realise how much I'd missed it till I got on Gasper for the first time last November. Let us know how you get on please :D
 
Well done on the weight loss and enjoy yourself.

I had a 12 year break from horses and riding, after working with them. Within six months of starting again I had bought a 6 year old ISH to event, and another six months after that, had built a yard and got another three!
 
I had a great time :D

I rode a coloured cob called Zodiac who was only 6yrs old bless him, he was very well behaved even when I kicked him on the bottom try to get on :( I was surprised how I got on, we did lots of trotting with and without stirrups :eek: lots of transitions halt to trot ect then at the end I cantered :D The outdoor school was a bit wet but Zodiac was so good bless him.

Instructor said I need to work on my shoulders being loser and thumbs up, was always being pulled up on this lol lower leg looked good as well as my seat :)

He suggested a hack next time then back to a lesson which I have booked for two weeks time.

On the way home I popped into the tack shop and bought myself a lovely new hat, hated wearing the school ones.

But I have a huge smile on my face and will for the next week lol it felt like I'd never stopped oh won't be happy already asked about livery lol
 
You do realise you will be as poor as a church mouse from now on as you spend every spare penny on all things horsey!

Glad you had a great ride and keep us posted.
 
Good for you, sounds like you had a great time and what brill motivation for weight loss!

It was my first time on a horse today aswell, snap! Last time I rode was about 10years ago and I was never particularly good back then. It didnt last very long just hoped on my friends cob for about 10 mins at the end of her ride and had a little trot up the lane. I've got a lesson booked for next Friday and I really can't wait!!
 
Congratulations. I'm still on my diet to reach my personal target then I can book my first ride in 15 years. I went a watched the dressage at the Olympics which gave me a big boot ip the bum to lose the weight and start riding again.
