Do you let yours eat in a hack. Absolutely (not)

Anyway nice walk out, I added the little new section I was wanting to and it did wake up her interest and curiosity.
I will start taking her a few new places and some of that will be earlier because it's much more pleasant out with the dog walkers

Another sunny morning we did an hour and she was hoof perfect. The local common riding starts today, the ground is like concrete going to be so hard on the horses as they do a lot of fast work on the roads and at least if the off road stuff is nice going it is a relief. But it's going to be hard hard hard all the way this year. The hydro therapy is currently offering free use of their 8 furlong gallop with a hydro booking as many of their event clients are finding it really hard to keep their horses fit on the ground, so Harmony is going to do the gallops then the hydro on Monday. They usually charge £10 for use of the gallops but Katie is giving it for free.

Jumping session today on the lunge. We've put all the jumps together. Someone has a road barrier. Perfect for her to pop over as it's like a skinny.
Then she did the barrels. She was actually miffed that she couldn't carry on and do more butt it's not set up to lunge over that easily. Will see if I can swap out some wings and then she can pop three if she really wants to. She does. They are up why can't I carry on.
