Scully & me - Tuscan adventures

Last visit for this year, just before lock down - super week in the sun riding Scully and a couple of new horses - one of which is a thoroughbred ex racehorse and a bit forward and sensitive, but despite a hiccup or two I really started to like him!

I don't get many videos of me riding but here is one of Squibb & I doing some leg yielding.
 
Just popping in to say that, despite covid19, I am still managing (safely) to get out to see Scully from time to time.
The latest visit was a couple of weeks ago and she is going better than ever :)

Hello, I am new to the site, which I discovered looking for Il Paretaio. I read your posts and wish to say that I remember San Gimignano well from spending a week at Il Paretaio many many years ago. So they are still doing their good work there and things have developed quite a bit. I will always remember the great food we had there too... Wishing you all the best for your health and for Scully of course. Keep the spirit up! Marion
 
Still riding and still going out to Tuscany, Scully is now 23 yrs old and still going well, I have had her 17 yrs and she has been in Italy for 9 of those!

Just back from 10 days in beautiful sunshine - Easy Jet now flying to Pisa from my local airport - result!

Scully enjoys her life out in the field 24 / 7 / 365, sometimes reluctant to come in and work so she has a field safe headcollar! Plus the field is huge and on a hillside so can be hard work catching her.

Wow, I'm so glad you updated. I remember reading your story ages ago and thinking what a wonderful idea and completely thinking outside the box.

Glad Scully is doing and looking so well 😍
