How simple something is.
This field is the field that made me vow never to ride in (there is actually a gate top left but there is now an extra fence up so we are following the line of the new fence along the top of image) and in fact made me loose confidence hacking him. It’s silly as this is a field right on the yard and probably the safest. We both terrified each other. I was riding him completely wrong. We can’t get in often as there are quite often cattle but today it was free So seize the day and in we went. He actually just pottered in walk (even though it says we cantered, we didn’t). So went round once and then asked for trot. He really would have preferred to have cantered but he was polite about it and stuck to trot and only needed reminded a few times to not pull. His fitness is definitely getting there. We will ignore the spin which almost dropped me coming back out the gate - a plant pot looked at him funny. 24FB3FA4-0FA0-4902-8456-B37540387F42.png09C94B14-D481-41C2-9FD8-2B3946352D63.jpeg
