Well, after the erm 'jumping' I hacked out last night!
I don't know what is happening to me, I'm going from being a nervous nelly to regaining confidence very quickly!
It was a short ride, from the yard, into the village (which consists of a few houses) past the farm and down to the end of the lane. Typicall last night the cows were in for milking and the farmer was cutting the grass in the fields for the winter feed, and there were tractors and cutting thingies (I'm not very technical!) all over! In the farm yard, the fields and one was clambering over the top of the grass pile! Well okay there weren't a herd of tractors, but there were about three maybe four in total!
I did forget to breath at this point and began to go a very funny colour, but YO and friend from the yard who I rode out with were very patient and managed to get me breathing again before I passed out..
Through all of this, pony was as good as gold, just stood looking at it all and kept talking to YO horse, as they are in luuurrrvvv!! After a chat to one of the farmer types we carried onto the end, went round the triangle and came back.
She wasn't bothered by the dogs barking or the odd car passing us or the kids playing, roaming chickens or the cows.
Pub hacks here we come!
Next challenge getting pony to canter, now there's a challenge!
