... for the first time in nearly three years! :eek: :eek: :eek:

My friend's horse is apparently very sensible but chestnut mare is a bit of a Dr Jekyll and Madam Hyde in company. :o

She'll either channel a beach donkey and pootle about at a snails pace with me reduced to being a passenger, or be a ranging loon with the accelerator stuck on and I'll be riding my socks off to keep her under control. Which will it be? :confused:

Ahhh, she'll probably throw both at me for old times sake. :rolleyes:
 
Thank you. :)

I've cunningly selected a very steep route in the vague hope that going up lots of hills at the start of the ride will wear her out a bit. :p
 
Good luck, I love riding out in company but also ride a mare that sometimes decides there is only one gear! Really hope you have a lovely ride. Let us know how you get on!
 
Good luck! I'm doing the same on Sunday too. Other than a walk out in hand I have found out that my 'perfect bombproof kids pony' hasn't been hacked out in 4 years. :eek: Good job it can carry me as the test dummy!

Bricking it!
 
I'm back! :D All in one piece too. ;)

She was quite frisky as I set off to meet my friend as the farmer was moving some sheep but as soon as we met up... she turned into a plod! She didn't even look at the pile of fly tipped tyres in the hedgerow that we passed later in the ride and not even a blink at the alpacas, which is very unusual. She's a funny lass. :) :p
 
Brilliant! I am alive too. Did the whole 7 miles in just walk / jog but am very pleased with her. Little less pleased with 2 others who were constantly clicking their tounge to make their horses move faster because mine was listening to it & also the 14 yr old who was absent mindedly waving a schooling whip around ffs! But we did it. Turns out this could have been her first ever hack too. X
