Wanting to rekindle my enthusiasm for endurance so when a friend asked if I wanted to do this one and agreed to loan me a horse I jumped at it.
I rode Tasha a spanish cross warmblood who is pretty much perfect and very fit. The ride was only ten miles and the weather was perfect-warm and sunny but not blazing hot. My friend was riding her three year old (almost four) PRE who is broken and riding on so we kept the pace steady and only trotted and cantered on good going, keeping most of the way to a walk and gossip.
It was truly lovely to be doing this again (the good weather and a well mannered horse helped!!)
The only issue was my friends saddle which was awful! If I had been sat on a cattle grid for three hours I would have fared better so needless to say Im a bit sore today but happily not too stiff.
Need to get Basil fittened up so we can have another go!

for so much hard work we thank ye!!
Sounds like a lovely day out, bar the saddle. You need a gel pad to protect your tender bits!
