You know when you start to get a bit above your station, they always find a way to bring you back down to earth.
Last night I schooled my little man Amigo he wasn't having the best time so called it a day after about 30 minutes, I normally walk him back to his yard via his turn out field, but is was such a beautifully moon light evening I thought I would ride up. Now I know the Field is safe and I was in my full riding kit with lots of people about etc.
So I was just going to walk, than maybe a small trot, which lead to the most romantic moon light canter with his long mane flowing in the moon light. Amazing!!
I stopped and got off well before the gateway to my yard, as it's boggy and rutted.. So there I was with the most amazing little pony in the world, feeling so totally smug about it, I turned to un do the gate, looked back and where is my pony ??
Only quietly rolling in the biggest mud patch you have ever seen in all his tack!! I still had hold of his reins I didn't feel or hear anything!! ha ha Right back down to earth again ;D
