For the first time since our crashing fall June I cantered Ailsa for the first time in the school!! ;D
We have been working hard on our balance and transitions have been the key to getting her to take weight behind.. We have a new instructor as I wanted a totally fresh start and I have to say I actually almost cried....
It was only two strides, and I barely asked for it but my Brave, Honest, faithful little girl just popped up in to a smooth canter, and came back instantly when I asked her, without diving on her nose... I know it's silly and tiny thing for most, but I almost burst with pride.. My highland that I was told I might never be able to ride again...
I love that little girl to bits... She really is turning out to be my pony of a life time.... And I wouldn't change our journey today for anything!
Sorry a bit gushy I know!

Yes we need a 'like' but also a 'well done'.

A lovely story, well done for being so brave . For me, just setting out on the road to recovery after my hideous accident last week, it's inspirational - thank you
