Took Toto hacking again! Well, he's been going out lots in company, but today we went out all alone again, and got pics!
Went on a route that is a short stretch of road, then onto a bridlepath, up a path to a cow farm, through the farm, along some grass tracks, through a woods and then back again.
Set off and he was fab, a little spooky but fine
Had a bit of a tantrum when we got to the path that leads to the farm, it is quite a scary farm but he's been fine in company, anyways messed around for 5 mins, spinning round, prancing, backing up through a hedge etc 
But with lots of leg and voice he went up the track, absolutely fine like nothing happened, so big pats!
Piaffed all the way through the farm haha but was better than last time. Got onto the grass track, and had a little canter
Pulled up fine, and went through the woods, had a trot and then another little canter! Turned around and he jogged a bit but calmed down once we got back to the tracks. Went through the cow farm fine and trotted down half the bridlepath and then walked on long reins for the rest, totally fine, he didn't even look at a tractor on the fields next to the bridlepath. Went through the gate and back onto the roads and got back home, was a lovely hour long hack, can't wait to go again!
Pics
In the field before we went
"I am not a pack mule!"
I love that saddlecloth, he carried a leadrope, some treats and my camera
"No more pics, you're so embarrassing!"
In the woods
Back on the grass tracks
"I'mma close my eyes now, fed up of pics!"
