round the 20 acre. She was generally very good, apart from a tantrum as we got to the bottom of the hill going away from the yard, that involves going through a gate and first she didn't want to go and came round back to me then when we got through, she decided turning round again was good... but after that, she walked on really well, didn't tantrum at all going through the gate out again at the other end, and when we got back along towards the house didn't tantrum at the helium filled birthday balloon that was going to leap out and bite her from about 200 yards away ... just turned to look at it a couple of times, thought about tanking back the other way, but didn't, and gently passaged away from it towards home.
i was quite impressed, really (and if we keep this up, i'll be a lot fitter as well,...)

Sounds like your hard work is coming back to you two fold....
I'll say you'll be fit! Round the 20 acres is a good hike. But just think how grand it will be when you can ride her around it on your own!
It's a bit tricky when they double back or come around on you. Your long reining skills are going to benefit tremendously from this too. You will be a master of the lines.
Well, maybe not as good at the guys from the Spanish Riding School--they are amazing!!!
