Okay, so I am now regularly riding my share horse in the school. I ride solo but also with a friend who rides another horse also owned by my RI. Two other sharers regularly hack out our two girls - Flicka and Brandy - so we are under no obligation to do so. However, with the sun shining I am getting a little itch to begin to do a small amount of hacking. There is a short hack, 'the river ride' which requires no road work and I'm tempted - after working in the school one day to just try a small loop. BUT - my friend isn't keen. I entirely understand this because the horse she rides, Brandy, is much sharper than Flicka and, having recently recovered from a broken wrist, she doesn't want to hack at the moment. Also as a total scaredy cat I know how horrible it is to feel pressured to do things so I wouldn't dream of trying to push her.
The other sharers do rarely take F out solo and she is okay, but she is mainly hacked with Brandy. So is it too silly of me to start to wonder if I could try a little solo hack on the Flickster? I was thinking of roping in a foot soldier and going after working in the school, even if it is just a few hundred yards first time to prove we can.
