Firstly, I didn't get to do it with my friend, as her horse bucked her off onto the road before we'd even set off. I felt so bad for her! Thankfully I had Man to drive her around, she went to A&E and was ok, just a bit sore. Also thankfully, a friend of my friend was going to come with us, so I ended up going with her and her little cobby! I did try and insist that I was staying with my friend, but she wasn't having any of it.

SO! On to my adventures :)

The ride over went without a hitch, Ned was amazing all the way, including through the centre of Milton Keynes!

I arrived at my friends field, untacked and let Ned go. Her horses and Ned were separated...until Ned jumped the electric fence!! I nearly had a heart attack! I was expecting fireworks, but they just trotted around with each other!

Later we went for a short ride with friend (who was bucked off the next day) and other friend (who came with me) and all 3 were fab :)

Said my goodbyes to Ned and went to friend1's house.

Got up at 6am to get the horses ready and was ready for 8, however that's when the incident happened :(

Arrived at the event with friend2 at 9:30am having hacked up there.

And we were off!!

Ned was extremely excited, especially having to wait while other horses set off in front of him! He cantered sideways for a short while, before realising that it wasn't actually getting him anywhere.

Eventually we ended up latching on to two lovely ladies - 20 and 21 (Sorry, I didn't catch your names!), if you're out there, THANK YOU!!!! You were such a big help, even if we did get lost :P your horses were absolutely gorgeous and so well behaved!

The ride was a complete success, for both me and friend2, since it was a first for both of us and both our horses!

Now for a couple of pictures :) I will upload a mass batch and make a new thread in the photo section tomorrow :)

On the way!
