Went for a ride today and it was fantastic. First ride out for Red who has had 5 months off (veteran) and hew as impeccably behaved - despite a scoop of oats morning and night in his din dins LOL. I rode Josh in my new wow. He was amazing, it was amazing - and for the first time in as long as I can remember he was forward and really enjoying it. Had a lovely canter, rode through the tunnel (dark in the middle!) on the way back and encountered loads of scary leaves, crisp packets and horse eating squirrels and had various "OH MY GOD SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKY" moments and I LIVED lol.
Coped with it all and grinned my face off.
Today, I had a non-nervous ninny day and I feel GREAT.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
