me, that is...
went out for a hack with the lady with the welshy. plan - down the back drive, round the 20 acre, up the hill to the yard.
got to 20 acre - narrow track through crop, but visible for the first half of the field...
got to middle, where there's a gap into second half of field.
crop there MUCH taller, and grown over track - both horses spooking at something and not wanting to go forward - whether because they couldnt' see where they were going, or there was something dead in the very long grass, we have no clue, but one of us had to get off and lead..
stupidly we let that person be me, not thinking it would have been much more sensible for the other lass to - she being on much smaller pone, could have hopped back on.. i couldn't - i was soaked from the toes to mid thigh... - and had to walk all the way back as there was no where to get back on (can't do it from the ground). the crop was pretty high!
apart from that, nice hack, and he came on the bit before this glitch...
Well, you probably won't make that mistake again. I can't get on Tetley without a mounting block either. He's too darn tall and I am short.
ReplyDeleteNice that you got out though.
I can't mount my horses from the ground either. I'd be right there with you and the wet legs.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you got in half a ride....
