Went out with one of the liveries and we revisited a track we'd done a few weeks go. This time we knew where we were going and so did the boys, with Little Un in particular anticipating the big stubble field quite a way before we got to it going out and coming back. He was also dropping some hints about a couple of other fields, making us both laugh at him. He had to content himself with the stubble field though - at least he could do it going out and coming home - and it turns out that despite other peoples doom mongering about cantering those two together they actually play very nicely together since if K does eventually get past he stops if the other horse won't race and Little Un knows racing isn't allowed. And both of them are a bit hot headed and so neither of them have any effect on each other.
There's only a bit of roadwork to the permissive path that joins the bridleway and then it's all tracks and fields with glorious views after an initial long and fairly steep climb. We could see for miles and the autumn colours were perfect. It was just over an hour and a half, with most of it done at Little Un's walk pace and a few snacks for K to catch up - K is a big believer in social distancing and will keep Little Un's pace pretty well as long as he's allowed to do it about five or six horse lengths behind
. Now if the ride could just do away with killer pigeons and assassin pheasants it would be perfect!
