8 years

8 years ago, I made one of the best decisions ever. I bought Buddy.

What better way to celebrate our anniversary than going to a jumping clinic! I can’t quite get my head around the fact it’s been 8 years since I bought this handsome boy. This year has probably been our toughest together with his injury and the challenges I’ve faced. But one thing is for sure, he melts my heart.

Looking back at the past 8 years, we have had so many highs. We’ve made so many memories together. We’ve achieved things I couldn’t have even dreamed. There are a lot of people in the Buddy Fan Club.

Today we had a lot of fun together. Especially after I remembered how to actually ride! Funny how muscle memory kicks in when you let it.

He is and will always be ‘My Absolute Diamond’. And I couldn’t love him more if I tried.

Keep going

I had an unexpected free weekend so decided to take Buddy out for a long hack. Wasn’t quite planning on 2.5 hours though!!

It was one of those days where I just wanted to keep going. So I did! We twisted and turned and went new routes.

Buddy has more members of his fan club. We met some kids out walking who all wanted to say hello and take a selfies with him. He was so patient with them.

My legs were feeling it when we got back. I now get why cowboys walk funny. 😉
