Didn't feel like riding today so went to the yard to do my chores in my jeans. Got there and got pounced on by YM (now back from weekend away) as I opened the car door "Quick! Tack up! We're all going hacking!" ("All" being 3) So naturally I said "OK" and went to fetch G. We were out for about 50 mins and we got to a point where a left turn would take you back to the yard in 20 mins or a right turn would give you another hour's riding. As it was 5pm and I still had to muck out, I said G and I would peel off here as it was so late and go home solo. YM said "Would you like me to come with you?" I think she thought G would be funny about being asked to leave her friends. As it was, G realised we were headed for home and didn't falter in leaving the other 3! She marched off with gusto and not a backward glance..... leaving me to yell "Er... No thanks, Jen..... I REALLY dont think it's a problem!!!!" She was as good as gold all the way home on our own.
