I was all determined to go this sunday to the last one in the winter league cos had been working hard since previous comp on our canter issue and was pleased with the progress.
Until the last few weeks with the wind I have hardly got to ride between work, xmas and the sodding gales and lashing rain then heavy frost :banghead:
So having managed one short hack in 2 weeks I decided against the comp on sunday knowing how fresh she is and knowing there is no point in going to the hassle of up early, plaiting and boxing there to be pinged around the warm up when ponies zoom past sending her into orbit.
I also thought the weather is to be nice today and tomorrow before the winds hit again and it would be nice to ride at home in the daylight with my other half with no pressure :smile:
I just want to ride and relax and enjoy my horses for first time in weeks if that makes sense.....
