Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
Oh my days, it was good to be back at Blackwater and XC schooling. It’s been 6 months since our last trip there.
There have been a few changes. The addition of a new practise jump was not to Buddy’s liking. Resulting in my sharp exit stage right. Slightly winded, I got back onboard and we got over it eventually. What is it about me and practice fences?!
After that he was such a good boy. We were both a bit rusty and it showed. Still there were lots of positives to take away from today.
I think I’ve earnt these today. After walking for 3 hours yesterday, I rode for 2 hours today. Burnt one or two calories I’m guessing.
Buddy and I popped our High Ash cherries today. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get there. Definitely worth the wait though.
The sun shone and so did Buddy. He took everything in his stride. Including his first encounter with pigs! He wasn’t bothered at all.
We were so busy chatting that I completely forgot to take a photo. Buddy loved it too. Especially the gallops.
