Yaay! Guess what I did ?

Hacked blue along the road to our house ;D
Our fields & sand school are a few hundred yards(5mins walk) away from our house on a road.....yikes!
So I was schooling over poles etc in the beautiful sunshine on our own(which unnerves me enough sometimes!) & getting on great, trotting nicely over the poles etc. So I thought b****r it I'm gonna ride up to the house, got off at which point blue thought yay I'm done, opened the gate & much to his digust got back on
Now at this point both he & I were thinking OMG we have'nt done this in 8mth but inspired by all your adventures.....we went for it!
My heart was thumping but I remembered to breathe & instead of thinking "what if" I thought "so what if" this was something I read yesterday & it worked I just said so what if he gets a spook, I won't fall off & I'll bring him back!
Apart from him trying to nap twice we did it ;D ;D
I know it's a minute achievement to some as it only took prob less than 5mins but it's a big deal to us.......baby steps & we might just crack this!
Here's blue having his reward in my back garden LOL!

Not minute at all. Did you feel that slightly defiant thrill? There is that moment where you can get just fed up being afraid. I think you were fantastically brave to act on impulse like that. I keep my rides minute to minute like that, propelling myself on as things happen rather than dwelling on the 'what ifs'. Great stuff.
