LOL!!! this is so funny!!
I've just found a diary entry, written by meee, in april (when we got ebony) it reflects how ebony was then, our situation, and all that. i found it hilarious. i've copied it here. word for word.
"Sunday last of April
decided to go for a nice relaxing hack today. On Ebony. In our new saddle. so, we strolled out the gate. fell down the track and spooked, baulked and shyed our way up the road. followed by my two neurotic parents on foot. After a while, we had refused to go, refused to stop, discovered the terror of drains and been barked at by, at least, four different dogs. Then, after nearly getting killed by a sports car coming round a corner too fast and not even slowing down (!!!) we had a brisk trot past two cars, a parket lorry, a bike, dog poo and another scary drain. At the drain, our trot came to a halt as ebony danced sideways across the road. What a lovely relaxing hack! I felt even worse afterwards"
Is that not funny?? now of course, ebony is a star on hacks, and we have a f f f fab time! but it made me laugh, thinking back on when i first got her. I first got her on the 1st april this year. it feels like forever!! I sstill cant believe i've had deej for a year and five months!! its not long compared to people on here who've had horses for 10 years plus. but it feels long!!so just thought i'd share that with you. thought it might give you a laugh!

lol jill!! we have great hacks now. with long canters and lazy wanderings down grassy paths. and jumping logs. which we can actually do now!! sometimes there are less relaxing moments, like when this huge great dane lolloped towards us (we used to have danes, so the size wasn't scary. just the fact that it was running full pelt towards me and ebony to join its barking jack russel friend!!) and head up spooky moments. she's still a baby! but mostly its all good. and the hacking here at our new house is great!!
Dog Poo - there is a lot in the woods i ride in. ewwww
thanks for your comments!
