Well Hogan redeemed himself today. I felt awful again yesterday, but promised myself if I could, I'd take him out this morning. Beautiful morning, mild and sunny. I only intended to plod, but we did more trotting than we've ever done, and he was lovely and forward going. Massive tractor coming along our narrow lane, and he didn't bat an eye. Ramsey would have been in the ditch, bless him. He's now not even pausing as we pass the forest ponies (Yes, they're still there!) I'm going to make our next challenge, after a few more weeks good trotting, to try a canter. He should be fit enough. My legs were a bit shaky when we got back, but otherwise I think it did me good. He earned his hay today!
