Pretty faces

When you get sent a video from your jumping lesson last week and this is the final frame. šŸ˜ Sometimes I crack myself up.

Deep respect for my instructor right there!! It was an interesting lesson as I couldnā€™t work out why I felt so unbalanced and couldnā€™t get my right leg on. After momentarily thinking Iā€™d had a stroke on the drive there (cause thatā€™s what you do, right?!), I realised Iā€™d put my left stirrup up 4 holes but my right only 2. No wonder I wasnā€™t feeling level.

Again, itā€™s a good job I can laugh at my own ineptitude.

Itā€™s also a good job I can laugh at my horseā€™s antics. Today we headed to Blackwater for some schooling and the little monkey decided he wanted to be a race horse! šŸŽ Donā€™t get me wrong, Iā€™m grateful for forward, but Iā€˜d prefer to make the decision about where weā€™re heading. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Iā€™m picky like thatā€¦

Countryside code

Iā€™ll never tire of this view. Weā€™re so lucky to have access to such off road hacking. Iā€™m definitely a country girl at heart. Thatā€™s why it upsets me when people have no respect for the countryside. Seeing the flytipping today made me very angry indeed.

We have the countryside code for a reason. I want to preserve the countryside for generations to come. Not just for riders. But for everyone to appreciate the beauty thatā€™s around us.

One good thing about lockdown was that more people came out to the country. I know I explored what was on my doorstep more. If you are coming out, please respect it. You could be walking next to your next meal. Youā€™re definitely walking near someoneā€™s livelihood.
