Happy 1st "gotcha" Year :)

[daisysp8]

It`s a year today since i got my boy. It has been a year of learning, and we`ve had some challenging times, but with each passing day we learn more together and it is a journey i`m enjoying taking

A couple of weeks ago, we went on our first solo hack ... just me and him .... We were out an hour, in the sunshine.

The looks we got trundling along in a rope halter and treeless saddle were priceless, i live in a very traditional area lol.

We did road work, bridle paths, walk and trot. We met traffic, and a tractor. Also a cyclist, other horses and children playing with a football. Barking dogs and a ride on mower .. and he was so good. I`m so proud, of him, and of myself ... learning to keep calm and re-assuring him ... putting in the hard work on the ground as much as in the saddle. I have started him myself and i`m so proud of how far we have come. I love my boy


We went out again a couple of days ago with the photographer (aka hubby) ... and here`s a pic of our miander through the village:





If we can do it .... any one can x

Thankyou guys ... he`s a pretty special lad in his own right. He had his wolf teeth out last wednesday, so is having a bit of time off until he`s healed up. Then i`m looking forwarding to a summer of hacking, and maybe even a funride

Oh yay!! You both look so happy and chilled!
