WHOOPEEE ! CONNIE AN D I HAVE DONE IT

[Mossy]

I am sitting with an ear to ear grin that you could light a candle off. I have sat on Connie and suggested with a very gentle leg suggest, not even a squeeze, and my voice that she walk on and she did. We turned by weight aid. No reins therefore no conventional steeering. She was as good as gold, Hubby was by head reassuring and she was great! I was more nervous than she was. The intention was to just lean again but she was so relaxed we girded up our loins and went for it. No reins, no neckstrap, no saddle, just a handfull of luxuriant redhead mane. She was brilliant. I am extatic.
A bit of an anticlimax really, Moss was also brilliant on two reins and a pelham, that was a first too. Wish us luck we are hopin gto ride with the Dartmoor Drift tomorrow rounding up the wildies

Congratulations!! Sounds like a great moment-even though I've never met you I wish I'd been there!
Hope this is just the first of many great times for you all.

Well done to you both! (Or should that be all three of you, lets not forget hubby's invaluable input!)

Good luck with the Dartmoor Drift tomorrow, I sincerely hope you have fantastic weather and an even better ride!

Let us know how it goes!
Best wishes, Claire H.

Congrats!

It's amazing what a wonderful ride can do to you mentally, and emotionally! Makes you feel great!!

I think it would be fun going out and rounding up 'wild' animals (well kinda wild). It would be an experience!

Have Fun!
