[SantaVera]

Summery weather -without the flies- great hack today. Whoes been out enjoying the weather and scenery this weekend?

 

[Coblette]

Yes I ventured out yesterday over the fields, it was lovely, sun was out, perfect temp & the ground was perfect! Making the most of it while it lasts!

Had a lovely hours hack in the sunshine this morning

 

[DabDab]

Yep, it certainly is a beautiful day...

 

[paddy555]

yes, just got back from my "happy hack"

 

[little_critter]

Yes, it was even tee shirt weather!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

I only hack bar the very odd lunge or school when the weather is bad so been out both days this weekend, did a couple of fields today as well as wanted to be back for the F1. We had a decent gallop, the ground was lovely and spongey

 

[webble]

Yup was lovely and quiet out and about

 

[dorsetladette]

We hacked yesterday. B felt amazing and pulled like a train up the sandy tracks in the forest. We are so lucky where we live. I dropped OH off at the quay to go fishing early and watched the sun burst through the clouds over the sea and then an hour later I was cantering along forest tracks. Bliss ?

Yes - I went out today. My horse has just got over 2 weeks off with a lameness issue - so had a lovely walk only hack with a friend and an elderly companion. Both horses looked like they throughout enjoyed their morning constitutional

 

[Sprout]

Me!
First time in a year ..... CRPS in a hand, then a fractured ankle and torn ligaments, then terrible Sciatica stopped me, but today I DID IT .... can only manage walk at the moment as it's too painful, but it's a start and I am buzzing with happiness.
Love my Unicorn.❤?

gallop in the stubble before it is ploughed

 

[vmac66]

Me. Managed a quick hack with a freind this morning. Not been out for a couple of weeks. Lots of walkers about for 9.30 on a Sunday morning. On the plus said not much traffic.

 

[MuddyMonster]

It's been perfect hacking weather - to be fair, hacking I'd our main 'thinģ' so its rare we don't!

Two rides this weekend, about 17.5 miles in total - lots of canters, mainly perfect going and no flies! Bliss ?❤

Pony is having a day off tomorrow before we try our first 'leaving in the dark by headtorch' hack in the week before work

 

[stangs]

Very jealous of you all!

 

[Red-1]

Yes! New boy went out hacking alone, met 2 sets of neighbours for lengthy chats and then, finally, just as we reached the driveway, someone blew up the local power station cooling towers. I thought a plane had crashed, it was defo an explosion and all the local dogs started barking.

Baby horse? Didn't flick a whisker!

 

[Bradsmum]

Very jealous of you all!

Me too, mine's a field ornament and has been for some time though I'm tempted to try a quiet hack.

didn't realise spook training had to include that nowadays!

 

[southerncomfort]

Me! Wasn't quite the peaceful hack I had in mind as we met all sorts today, but their were no dramas and we had a lovely hack mostly on a loose rein.

Hacking is what it's all about for me and I'm so happy that October is being kind to us. Next week looks like staying pretty quiet weather wise!

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

No. Horse is lame (barely 1 tenth now but he's off to horsepital next week). He really wants to go out for an adventure and gets a bit excited whenever one of his buddies is tacked up but he's grounded for now. We spent the afternoon in his field with me poo picking and getting a few rogue ragwort while he follows me round as if I'm there for his amusement.

Not bad weather for poo picking though.

 

[Red-1]

Haha, I have been spook busting, as he is not the most confident of horses, but no, I had not included local explosions!

I am on a few FB pages locally, and they were alive with people wondering what on earth happened, for miles around. I genuinely thought a passenger plane had crashed a few miles away. I would have been more scared, but I was attending to him.

I wish my hacking looked like this!

 

[Melandmary]

Me!!! Today was a good day for me, first hack out on Mel since she got lami in April and had her shoes off 12 weeks ago. We set off at 7.30am so the roads were quiet and the sun was shining. After a very shitty week it felt like heaven ?

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

The fields are good! Unfortunately it's about 20 minutes road work to get there, which can drag but nice when you get there!

 

[TheHairyOne]

I did. Lovely day and nearly foot perfect horse.

Love the view from behind these ears

 

[SussexbytheXmasTree]

Had a lovely weekend hacking. Yesterday I rode both my boys out separately for about an hour and a half each The mist with the sun shining through was beautiful. Today I rode with another forum user up to the South Downs way with some lovely long canters. It was grey today until later this afternoon. We were out for about 3 hours.

 

[Caol Ila]

Tried a new route today, one I had been fancying for a while, but has 200m of descent, then 200m of ascent, and I didn’t think Gypsum was up for that.

Foinavon is a machine on hills so managed it nae bother. Highland pony on the West Highland Way, with his pal Millie and my OH the foot soldier.

 

[Dustygirl]

Yes early morning in the forest , perfect weather.

 

[Peglo]

Also very jealous. Some beautiful photos ?
We had gale force wind and heavy showers ?
