Well, thought I would post a wee update on our hack today - funnily enough our roads were pretty quiet today but we went on over to hack out with my cousin anyway.
It was very windy today and I was a bit nervous but it was a good hack - worry wart again!
Well, the whole lot of us went out - my auntie and her mare, my cousin and her pony and me and Kieran and their other pony who is too small for anyone to ride now really, so mum led her!
We were out for nearly 2 hours and took the same route as last time - on the way home we stopped off in the field where they ride and my cousin had a bit of a ride round and a jump (homemade - barrels and a pole!). I even had a bit of a trot around!! Woo! He was very good - he was more forward going in the field than the arena and went quite fast in trot at some points but its looking good for riding in our field in the summer - at least he doesnt go nuts as soon as his feet touch grass!
He was a bit spooky round the roads and walked quite quickly the whole way round and had a jump at something - what was really surprising was that i wasnt scared! Maybe it was cos it just felt that he splayed out his legs and because I hardly moved in the saddle - i dunno. But yay!
Thought I wouldnt push it and not have a canter - will save that for later! ;D
Next hack = Tuesday! Well, were going out tomorrow on our own as well ;D
