Perfect couple of days riding

[Jessey]

Jess is still feeling strong and we've had a fab couple of days riding, we've managed to get out and back between showers and the neds have been great, we did 4.5 miles yesterday and another 5.5 today, hank was tired on the way back today bless him.

Waiting to go
We decided a bit off off roading was in order today, hank wasn't overly impressed

That log ahead looked small enough, but even jess had to hop it and it was chest height on hank, he managed it though

This is my favourite place in the forest, everything's so big it makes me think jurassic Park

Still in jurassic Park

And heading home

Love, love this!

How do you get on with your bridle - is it a Zilco one? I'm considering getting Pete one as we often look like we've gone hunting after a 90 minute hack

I would be no good with your location. I would wrap Hank round a tree.
Riding and leading isn't my strong point, I almost wrapped a rider round a gate hunting.

It took me a long time to come around to the idea of anything synthetic being nice but I love my zilco bridle, its soft and has never rubbed or anything and its just so blooming easy to keep clean, dunk it in a bucket and you're good to go again Jess is a sweaty beast, but being so thin and light I think she sweats less under it then she did with a leather bridle.

I can't say I haven't had Hank the wrong side of a few trees or like with that log yesterday, jess hopped over and Hank was still wriggling about eyeing it up.....my arms nearly got pulled out of the sockets the more you pony though the better the neds get at knowing what they need to do to help you out

 

[orbvalley]

I would definitely be over horsed & over poneyed having to take the two of them out together

 

[Jessey]

I'm going to try the river next weekend, will def put my hat cam on for that as I may well get a swimming lesson Its not too deep where we cross but Hank will almost definitely have to swim the middle bit and I don't think I've ever had him in more than a puddle, Jess is normally fine with the river apart from the first visit each year...which this will be... so she might tit about a little.

LOL

The only chance I would get to pony is to borrow something faster than mine- not hard. She would just follow. Hates leading.
