Just walked a new route with my dogs and found it would be perfect for a little hack, all grass paths so great for having a good canter!! However trees and rushes all around and very windy today. Should I hold off till less wind tomorrow (checked weather forecast), or should I go for it. Only thing stopping me is I will be going alone and my husband is away so no one would know if something happened!!! V. excited about the grass paths but don't know if best to hold off and just go round the big field next door today??
 
Think it could be a bit like his a crab, so I don't know if its worth doing or not, think it is always good to test him in different situations. I am thinking of starting off in field and see how he is. Then after a good warm up make my mind up.
 
OK yes it was very windy!!! Just catching him was hilarious, lots of galloping bucking and farting!!! Eventually got him and he was crazy, but we tacked up and went down the road to another field. It was quite something and I persevered for a bit and then we went back to our field and carried on some work. Will leave the hack till wind slightly calmer, as yes he was loopy!!
