Im on Clound 1001 ! Had the most wonderful hack out this evening, in company and Roche didnt put one single foot wrong. We went alot further this evening, we even did the "scary bend" which I was so worried about last week but he strode out like a good un right round it, passed a lodge with the fishermen casting their rods, didnt bother then passed kids playing footy at which point I really thought he'd spook - not even a jib. My friend loaned me her body protector - I've never used one of those but will be investing in one as it helped me so much. It sat me upright for started and stopped me wriggling about in the saddle so it was more comfy for Roche. Passed lots of scary objects and he was a rock completely. My confidence bank must be now at 90% and each time we go its increasing more and more. I love my horse soooo much! Sorry for the gushing but Im just so very very happy and so proud of him what an absolute superstar xx

That's great. Bet you are going over the ride in your mind repeatedly and smiling inside and out. Well done for holding your nerve.

that is great news! body protectors are really great, i found mine annoying until i fell into/over a fence and my back hit it, in which case it saved me. Now i always wear it giftgirl xx |
