Bobby's Sound - So Rode Him Yesterday!

[Casper]

Although he still looked slightly stiff in his hindquarter he is an awful lot better, so I decided to pop on him to see how he was. And he was fine, and in fact the leg loosened up as he walked on a bit. So fingers crossed he is mended bless him.


Don't know what you have all done to me, but although we were only walking and halting in our school there was a tractor whizzing backwards and forwards with bags of fertilizer, and then one went down the lane with a muck trailer on. And I sat and relaxed - and so did he!

Am going to ride him this afternoon - if I get really brave I might try a mini hack (and it really will be mini)!!! Have been leading him out in hand the last couple of days down the reservoir and back one evening, then round the village the other evening. (He hasn't been round a village for about a year). And he was an absolute star. I have got to get this relationship transferred to the saddle then there truly will be no stopping us. I just have to stop being a nervous ninny...

Brilliant that he is sound, and most excellent that you rode him and relaxed with the tractor..... this new place is certainly helping you.... keep going at it and your mini hack with become a normal hack soon.... ;D

[steff]

Great! kepp us updated on the mini hack please!

[Casper]

Oops, have just modified the opening thread title to say Bobby's Sound, instead of Sounds. (With the excessive amount of grass/gas at the moment you most definitely DO NOT want to hear Bobby's Sounds). His grazing muzzle goes on today...

Thanks very much for your encouragement Julz and EskimoGal! xx

I want to read that you got your bum in that saddle today - so thats your orders now!!!

So make my day!

I hope you do your mini hack, remember, he is a star when led, and will be a star when ridden, cos you are still leading him (but from above).xxxxx

Yay you go girl. This is so much more positive. Get your bum in that saddle and do your mini hack. If i can go round the field myself you can do it..
I would love to have a drive out and come and visit one day and meet your lovely boy and clover of course!!!

Nic that would be fab! We're the far end of the A14 to you, but a pretty straightforward journey nonetheless. x

[nic1]

Let me sort my boys out and get a new yard sorted and i will come and visit, i can manage the A14. I live just off the A14 where the M11 starts so a fairly straight drive Lol.
Then you can come and visit us, i am sure the local pubs could supply a half decent lunch!!

Fantastic casper you must be v pleased with yourself & Bobby ;D
Echo the others get your butt in the saddle & enjoy your mini hack LOL! It's still a hack no matter how short it is ;D
I agree with you on the transferring the relationship to the saddle thing, it's hard but you do get there in the end. You'll easily manage though just take a leaf out of your own book as you are always giving op great advice including myself ;D

[em&ed]

Well Done, Girl!! ;D I think they key is that you stayed relaxed even though the 'demons' were dashing up and down the lane and as a consequence - so did Bobby, coz he trusts you

keep us posted on your hack xx

[Louise C]
