Wonderful sunny day, Passed a couple of cars and vans. One bike he did a little dance at and saw a pram on the far side of the river that made him stop and stare. We were out for about an hour and half and I have to say for a very green rising 6 year old he was fantastic. Only twice did i have little panic. I often wonder wether I will ever be a confident rider or always be a nervous nellie. But I did enjoy my spring morning hack and this chunky boy. On the way home he kept snatching to eat grass so we have bought a grass reins for him tommorrow.
I really wish I could be one of you confident riders but I still enjoyed my time out. It is nice to know that both of them are ok to hack. We even crossed a big stubble field safetly. Half way across we had a little trot (I cannot canter yet) and the both pulled up easily at the far end.
They were both sweated up when we got home, they really are unfit but so am I he he. But now they will both be going out most days. I am working towards doing some pleasure rides later in the Autumn hopefully Sue thinks they do both hack out nicely together with either taking the lead when required so should be good to do pleasure rides . I will finish off with some piccies of my beautiful boy
