first one since october! (when i fried my left wrist).
only down the hill and round the 20 acre...
i made a pigs ear of going down the hill (it's a steep one, i dislike it, and i was too stiff).
both horses were very dubious about a bit of orange plastic hanging off a fence, it was tiny.
the very dead and rotted log half way round was clearly going to kill both of them and had to be snorted past, sideways, whilst being given as wide a berth as possible consistent with not heading over the bank into the wear!
and poor monf was totally terrified of the sheep feeder to the right of the track on our way home - quicker and quicker towards it in a faster and faster walk and then his nerve went, a trot/canter u turn whilst, literally, crapping himself .. but i stayed on, and he was ok to turn round and follow charlie!
Ah, poor Monf. Bet he will be much better the next time out. All he needs is a little experience in his new environment.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got out, even it was a bit more exciting than you'd planned.
