Longest hack Ed and I have done for quite some time.
It's all on road (but lots of narrow, quiet lanes. There's one field where we have to do gates at either end (my job as friends horse is just too big :biggrin
This field has a herd of huge beasties in it that scare the living daylights out or me (not a cow/beast fan :redface. However, my friend always reassures me that you only have to worry in the Spring when the cattle are young and not used to seeing horses, so end Summer/Autumn they're fat and chilled :giggle::giggle: Well this large herd looked at us and didn't even move, so got half way across the field and decided to canter to the next gate :dance:
Poor old Ed was rather sweaty when we got back, so hosed down, fed and turned him out. He will be blanket clipped next week :inlove:
Can honestly say he didn't spook at one thing for the whole 10 miles layfull::wavespin:
