Well Lucyloo brought Lacy up to Flynns home today and we rode out. A 1st for Lucy and Lacy seeing a BIG world to have fun on as we have amazing setaside to ride on straight off our yard. Lacy was a star again..getting to be a habit..LOL.
Then after riding and we were out for about an hour if not a little longer. We set about loading Flynn into Lucy's trailer ( I had hiccup last weekend when I got him home as I forgot to undo his trailer tie! SNAP! as I had asked Flynn to go out, so I wasnt sure how it would go!) well he was a star, and behaved superbly.
The it was lacy's turn to join Flynn, now Lacy had a little hiccup that morning and had not wanted to go out to a party to Flynns home. So Lucy in her calm way, took her time and eventually Lacy came into Join Flynn. Now again more 1sts, Lacy had never been trailer with another horse or pony, Flynn had never been a trailer with another pony or horse. Lacy had never loaded when another was already in there, and had never loaded the other side.
Then I asked Flynn to back out again we usually have the sides opened and this time they couldnt be. But he backed out another 1st. Then I asked him back in! another 1st as he had never loaded with another one inside, also another 1st I have always opened up the trailer to make it inviting, but he had to go out with all of the same and load into it all the same.
So Lucy and I are both beaming, we have achived many many good things today and enjoyed all of the experiences.
As we are all off to Norfolk next weekend to ride on the beach, again another 1st for our horses and ponies staying over 2 nights. We needed to do this in preperation.
It just gets better and better...
The ground handling work is paying dividends for Lucy and I.
I had a handling lesson last weekend with Julia an RA who also teaches me MW riding, so pleased as she boosted my moral again! as aways she gets it right.
Lucy we look forward to going out again hacking together.. cant wait
Lucy such lovely pics I borrowed them.
