went for a hack out unexpectedly - a couple of the people who normally go out first thing were going out shortly after i got on, so i went with them .... down the lane, Molly didn't do her usual whip round which was good, through some fields, trot up holme hill, round the top, walk back down - that was scary a bit as it's slippy, she wanted to go faster than i wanted, the saddl ehad slipped a touch and i really wish i'd got the suede seat!!!!! - and then back home, and Molly & I opened the last gate, and a nice trot back along the lane. by then, I was really sinking into the saddle and felt as though I had that a lot better. So i was pleased, if somewhat wimpish going out! vaguely worrying about what she was going to do. Plus, she seems to have her confidence back for going ahead, by the time we got back to the bottom of the hill she was walking on ahead!
So I was pleased....
Was telling people about tetley, they're all disgusted.
And you're right jean about when EE finds out about this ... there are peole on there near that place, I have no doubt ...

Hey, good going!! Wish I could go out for a ride, but the footing here is really bad. I may try a little work in the ring as soon as I am done here, but nothing fancy.
The hack sounds lovely. And you have every right to be proud of Molly. She is getting better about lots of things.
Ah, forget the suede seat. When you get down to riding, you need a little "slip" in the seat so you can adjust yourself to varying situations. For now, you can get some stuff to put on the leather-- Sadl-tite?--to help you stick. Or, wear some full seat breeches or some of those riding tights with the grippy stuff. Or, you could get a suede seat cover to us.
The suede on a saddle tends to get flat over time anyhow, although people insist if you keep the nap brushed it won't. I just don't believe it.
