I hate this wind! It won't go away and is due to be windy for days.
Ben is back out overnight and is only in very light work anyway as he is still lame. I am recovering my shattered confidence and we have had some really positive rides in the school and I am working up to riding out in the fields. But the wind is ruining my plans. As he is now back out for 14 hours overnight, he doesn't need to be ridden everyday and I find I keep making excuses not to ride. I feel like a complete wuss when I decide that it's too windy to walk him out, but I need to be aware of my confidence levels and it would only take a flying plastic bag to produce a spook which would really knock me. It is so frustrating as I used to ride him in all weathers.
Is the wind putting anyone else off riding?
