Today it was just me and Nikki. Now her horse, Coral, absolutely refuses to go at the front (for some reason ), so we have never forced it. But today........... Went round our new ride from yesterday. Coral went first We pottered along the paths to the lake and all around the lake. Coral was marching along - Nikki was so pleased. I then suggested Nikki had a trot - Coral trotted on well. So, of course, (hee hee) I suggested she cantered. Yee ha! Nikki cantered in front, for a long way, and Coral was a star and Lincoln wasn't ramming up her back end or pulling me to go faster ;D ;D ;D Nikki just couldn't believe it - her cantering in front - it was brill ;D Then...... as if it couldn't get any better ...... We came to the horse stile, which neither of us managed to navigate at Christmas holidays. Coral went over it first - Nikki thought she was dreaming LOL! Then, after only very gentle persuasion, Lincoln went over too (last time Nikki got stuck and I had to get off and lead Lincoln). All of that with no-one shouting, kicking, whipping, making horrible suggestions or anything - it really is so unnecessary isn't it gang? So we are all at peace with the world this Easter Sunday morning. Feeling very pleased with ourselves. Sorry if this is bragging, but just needed to share. Hope you have all had a good day too. xx

Im getting greener by the minute It just shows how these are the sorts of things that make us keep going, through all the pooh times, all the mud etc of winter, and all the 'bad' days. Im very pleased for you, and we know there is no bragging whatsoever intended . I really hope that all the things you achieved today continue, but if there are little setbacks, you can now think, hey thats all they are - little setbacks. I dont know what horse stiles are, Ive never seen one, but if you can get stuck, I m sure I would have got off ;D I bet you' re on cloud nine this afternoon, have a choccy to celebrate.xx

Thanks everyone, to think that Christmas Day 2006 was Nikki's first ever ride out on the road, and now we go out for 3 hours all over the place LOL!!!
And today she went first (and therefore I wasn't in the lead, but wasn't too nervous).

Blimey that's another of those naughty messages that comes up as rude stuff on some peoples computers. Can someone please tell the Mods? Sorry to ask for help but I can't seem to get through when I have tried in the past.
