Decided to take advantage of the last day before the kids went back to school so the teenager and I went for a ride down to the river.
R was naughty, very full of himself and when we got close to the old club he was really acting up, with excitement, I suppose. The teenager, who gets very tense when she is hungry and her blood sugar dips, suddenly lost it. She leapt off him and when I told her off, she flung his reins down on the ground
R, quite naturally, trotted off. Only when he got a leg caught in the reins did he stop, thank God. A hugely chastened teenager got him back, no trouble and ate a cereal bar and was fine again.
So we had a jolly picnic (actually I was furious and not at all jolly) so we had a huffy picnic. She was so contrite that I forgave her and then it was jolly and we got on bareback and went for a swim. The water was really warm which was just as well as we got soaked and had to dry out on the ride back. My boots were a bit grim, full of water.
Here's R not happy about going back in without P.
oh all right then
ooops, that's the last you'll see of that whip (it sank)
phew, back with P
We then had to slosh home again but R was well behaved I'm glad to say. We dried out pretty fast as it was nice and warm. In all we did about 30km so I'd say we're on course in our training programme.
