Yay! Lovely Ride!

[Blackhawk]

I know we all have lovely rides quite a lot of the time, so this is very self indulgent.

Just had my first lovely ride with my new boy. He's being brought back into work after being backed so we're taking it nice and slow but he was very relaxed today (after being a coiled spring yesterday) and was taking contact, working long and low, stretching through his back, listening to me, etc.

I'm just really chuffed even though I know it's not bombing round badminton.

Thats great! Glad things are going well!

Sounds quite exciting - what are your plans?

Thanks!

I'm bringing him back into work at the minute so he's getting 20 mins of walking and stretching 3 times a week just now.

Plans are that hopefully he will be competition fit by spring and doing some affiliated dressage. He's had people eyeing him up to take him eventing though.
