Edit - sorry for the huge pics, first time i've used photobucket and the re-sizer won't seem to work for me?
Gushy post ahead but I just have to shout about my lovely share horse! :wub:
I'm such a nervous rider but he is giving me confidence and teaching me so much (along with his lovely owner:spin
My OH and me share B once a week, but his owner often asks if we want to hack out with her so we take it in turns each week. He's just so fab to ride!
Last weekend his owner organised a ragwort pulling day, which included a little fun course to do. I've never done anything before like that and even though it was just a tiny course we had so much fun! Things like walking over tarpaulin, round a little maze, round some 'roadworks' etc. I was so nervous I only did it in walk. We even got rosettes! (My OH was secretly very excited about that :giggle:!)
B was a bit naughty with OH but once he was told he couldn't carry on trying to grab grass he went well and OH handled him like a pro.
Few pics, please excuse my probably appauling position etc, was too busy concentrating and being nervous!
First riding my share ladies own horse round the maze:
Collect the ragwort postcard:
Post it in the ragwort postbox:
Collecting the flag:
Getting my first ever rosette
Then doing the same on B:
Attempting reinback (badly!)
B thought the red box might eat him, but with a bit of encouragement we got there in the end..
Not sure what happened to my toes here :frown:
Over the finish line (hence the grin!)
Rode him tonight in the field, just walking and trotting, he was great as usual and he seems to really enjoy being ridden. There were pigeons trying to roost in the trees and a grinder going off in one of the nearby warehouses but he took no notice. Can't ever remember riding being so fun :wub: Just love him!
