Went up on the hills for a hack today for the first time since getting back in the saddle!!! :D

My mare was definately enjoying the freedom and even took the lead in a gallop up to the highest point (thankfully uphill or I might still be going now!!!!!).

Anyway, legs turned to jelly and I was a little taken aback at her speed and enthusiasm but, if Im honest, I loved it!!!

Just a small step in my bid to get my over my nerves..!:D

Ah now with a phrase like 'Up the hills' you must be near me somewhere.

I know your in Somerset (I think), where exactly are you?

By the way, well done, I have a need for speed also:)

Hi Bobbin

I think Im right in saying we have a mutual friend in D&D?? If Im right, then yes we are talking about the same 'hills' only a few miles apart!!!!!!:D

Hi Sammii,

Thanks for the support! Getting there is my mantra!! Feels great tho being able to get back out there slowly. One of the reasons I decided to become a member and stop lurking was the fact there are novices and more experienced riders who suffer with nerves - I was so relieved to know theres so many of us out there. I really thought every other rider was naturally brave but now I know!!!!:D

I'll be in the nervous nellies club for ever tho, I know my place!!:D

Ah ha!!

I THINK I know who you are;)

I think I may well have been talking about you to DD last night and a certain possible 'move'

I'm so glad you've hopped back into the saddle:)

I think Im right in saying we have a mutual friend in D&D - im famous :D

Knew D&D would be talking the world and her dog to death :eek: scarey comment, anyone would think you knew me :eek: ;)

oooh - how do you feel about your cover being blown. I'm sure mine is but no-ones mentioned it so far! I live in this perpetual coccoon whilst on the computer - as though the real world - which I (try to) describe must be familiar territory to at least one or two members or lurkers..... scary stuff!


And very very well done on the hack, sounds great fun, and confidence building.. onwards!

It is scarey as I was quite happy back here in the shadows!!! :D

Oh well, never mind, just have to keep being nice!!!!! ;) :D

At least I'll be able to share piccies of our girls with everyone (once I've found the piccies and worked out how to do it!!).

C'mon then, anyone else ready to be 'outed'??!:D
