Willow had her first forest ride here, pics

[Emily+Meg]

Willows first 'proper' - as in longer than 1/2 hour - hack today!

We went up to the forest, with Mum on Peg. It was quite windy and she was spooky at first, all the scary blue recycle bins were out so we would go forward 10 metres...spook sideways. forward 10 metres...spook sideways. LOL. After the 5th one she decided they werent scary.

Then we met a very very scary drain with white lines round it. She told me it was definitely a horse eating monster. teehee.

But she was very very good after the first 20 minutes and settled nicely. Met some heavy traffic that she was good with as well.

We did open fields and sandy tracks in the field, have 2 lovely canters!

and we practised some bank riding, woo :







and this is her partway through tacking up




we also jumped a 2foot log thats come down in the wind across a bridleway, she jumped it huge, because it had a troll underneath it but she was very good and didnt even think about stopping at it, even though there was a troll living under it...

very pleased with her, we were out about 1h15 mins. She is beginning to get nicely fit as well.
