Endurance ride today *pics*

[Oranges]

Did our first competitive 20 mile ride today. The route was fantastic, wonderful going, field and commonland, there was a bit where we went to the top of a hill and you could see mile and miles in every direction, it was absaloutly stunning i wish i'd took the camera. Kim was loving it too, on her best behavouir all the way round. Anyway got back to venue with plenty of energy still, which i was pleased about, but when we got to the vet, he said that she looked slightly lame on a hind leg, but passed us, saying to keep a eye on it, anyway on vet sheet he'd wrote slightly lame. But when i went for my log book i turns out i was eliminated, for being lame, even tho vet had passed us and had no second opinion. And to top it all we got home and i asked dad to trot her up on the road so i can see how lame she was, and she was sound, not even a hint of stiffness, but she does have a funny gait so vet must have confused that with being lame, but never mind its one of those things. Any way some pics, only a few tho, time to sack the photographer lol

posing at the begining, kim looking rather scared lol

Well done you!

The vet thing is frustrating but the main thing is that you enjoyed yourselves and that you are looking forward to the next one.
