i cant say it was easy to do, and i nearly pulled out about 15 times over the last week! but, i am really glad i did it. to make it even better, the horse i rode was a freshly backed nearly 4yo, who i was midwife to and nursed him through ill health when he was 6 weeks old (back in the day when i worked with horses. crikey i miss that), so i have a very strong attachment to him. he was very wobbly and not certain what straight lines or circles were but absolutely safe as houses - which is surprising coz his mothers still a nut job!

i was a bit emotional about it, but i guess that was part wishing it was Shadow, and part thinking 'oh my god i'm riding enzo! he's a baby!'

so just a message to say yay me

i feel a bit better now. i dont think i really realised just how much i missed horses in general, and watching my friend ride Enzo just got me itching to get on! she lives about 25 miles away, but she's offered for me to come and ride him whenever i like, which is very kind of her - its nice to know that she has enough faith in me to ride her baby

a girl that i know-ish has asked if i'd have time to ride her horse 2-4 times a week. she seems like quite a classy horse but a bit of a nutter in the stale by all accouonts! so there are offers out there which is really nice, i guess its just up to me now to figure out what i what i want to do!
