Seeing as I wasn't working today I decided to take GrayMo out for a play in the stubble field - I haven't hacked him out since he came home from racing due to me having no one to ride with a busy main road to head out on with lots of bends.

Hot on the heels of the 1x's was an exquisite canter passage with 3 rapid 180 direction changes before some more canter leg yielding. Once back on the road GrayMo gave me a truly spectacular high stepping suspended trot back to the driveway where he then ....
Would have got a perfect 10 for his walk on a loose rein down the drive!
What a Pillock! (Being mild here!)

Gotta Love The GrayMo!
