For the first time in about 8months I had a lovely ride and enjoyed it 
I rode Ebony (Mums favourite!) and Mum came on Copper (who is supposed to be very old and has only been ridden maybe 5times in the last year).
It started off well, horses came in, brushed, Ebony had his face clipped, Copper went mental when the clipped were turned on and broke 4 lots of bailer string and had to be reminded that hes over 30 now and doesnt mind getting clipped. Got tacked up and off we went.
Ebony had a few moments where he was a total plank, Copper was a saint for Mum as ever. We got onto the beach and the tide was in (knew it would be- is a good thing cos they dont go "wheeeeeee gallopppiinngg"). Me and Ebs decided to go for a paddle in the sea seems as there werent huge waves for a change. I start singing some random made up song that my friends kids sing when they go swimming, and we are both happy.
We decided to have a lovely canter away from home as the tide had gone out a little bit. Copper did his "im old.. I can hardly canter" until he saw Ebony cantering and off he went flat out. Ebony just plodded along like an angel, bless. Mum eventually rejoined us, with Copper who was bouncing along like bambi.
A huge thankyou to Amarche and Wendy who have both been so helpful and lovely! I do love this board! Im thinking the drugs the doctor has been giving me are finally working, only had a couple of panic attacks all week
Managed to get some photos between us
Copper and Mum (I dont know what shes doing!)
