Soooooooo sweet! Yesterday I helped take out an all-day rando of teenies on the shets. The instructor was in front and it was my turn to bring up the rear. Paco was very grumpy as he is used to being lead horse and it was veeeeeeeeeerrrry slow at the back. But it's his job and he didn't make a fuss other than putting his head down into an exagerated outline and staying like that even though I was riding with long reins. He does that when he's cross and I have to take care that he doesn't whip it down that little bit more so that he can buck ... LOL Anyway the shets looked so cute, all these tinsy, fuzzy ponies plodding along in a line. And the littlies were very nice too - no whiners, no total incompetents, no larking around. We went on a very pretty route down along the river and saw loads of wildlife, a swan who was displaying in front of us, and had to go through a wide brook, up to the shets' tummies, that had the dwarves laughing madly as they got splashed. It was nice and hot so no shivering afterwards. We picnicked by a little lake at the edge of the wood surrounded by yellow irises and the little girls went off to pick edible flowers. Awww, it was lovely ;D

That sounds idyllic! (Even if not really Paco's cup of tea)
