So, winter is here. The fields are either wet or frozen and my hacking isn’t brilliant. At the moment I have a lesson every week in a local indoor that I trailer to but it is hard to find the motivation to ride the rest of the time.
However! I heard that a local yard was offering a monthly membership for £30 which gives you unlimited access to the outdoor and indoor schools, use of one of the stables in the indoor while you are there and access to all the hacking (which is off road, yay!) . So I signed up and went off this morning, it’s about 20 - 25 minutes door to door. What a brilliant idea! The only thing was, there are workmen in this week doing quite a big job at one end of the indoor. 2 men were standing up on a ledge , there was a nail gun going off, a drill, wood being thrown down and clattered. Argh! It was all a lot to ask of a baby pony! I decided to leave her in the stable in there for 10 mins or so and see how she was reacting and she was so good I thought stuff it, I’ve come all this way over here and I hopped on! We had a super schooling session and near the end one of those metal cutting saw things started up!!!!
(you need sound up for the vid)
Very proud of Brook! The only thing she threw herself sideways for was the tyre tracks in the sand surface!
