rode!!!!!!

we went up the park down beside the geldings field to harbour house, had 10 minutes in the arena there, and then back; I had to get off and lead to go back down the park, it's a seriously steep hill and molly wasn't having any of it and started backing herself towards the cattle grid! that was fair enough, i haven't asked her to go down a hill of any great steepness since we left blackdene (you will recall, the hills there showed up her lameness); so i doubt she has the confidence to do that sort of steep hill mounted yet! fine when i got off.

Yay!! for a nice outing.

Claire said...

not that well and truly, trudi - will be next weekend before we can do anything else!

Happy to hear you managed a ride. I would have gotten off too with a cattle grid so close. I don't blame Molly all that much about the hill either. If she was sore before, she probably remembers.

Seems like everyone is getting back into the business of riding,the snow is clean but doesnt make horsey stuff easy!

Finally! I bet she appreciated you getting off on the hill.
