Leading on from my confidence lapse,i just had to let you know that i took my girl out for a short hack today ;D,admitidly it was just walking and only lasted 20 mins,but i was soooo proud of her.She hasnt been ridden for 2-3 weeks and she was amazing,a few times she became tense (especially due 2 some stupid people playing with electric cars!!! ) however i just sat calmly reassuring her(and myself and also said my affirmation in my head which made a HUGE difference (thankyou Kelly &Perfect confidence).A couple of other times she became sure that objects had been sent to eat her,such as bricks &a tyre(!),but i just rode her forwards and convinced her that she was too brave to let silly things like that eat her ;D ;D ;D!Afterwards i spent a few mins doing pressure/release exercises before turning her out. What an amazing,brave,sweet horse i have i cannot believe how lucky i am! ;D ;D ;D ;D Rie x x

Wooooo well done!!!! You should also be very proud of yourself - a hack is a hack, whether it is 20 minutes or 4 hours, walking or galloping!! You both deserve a massive pat on the back ;D
