Since having kids and then breaking my arm falling off a few years back, I've had no balls at all and I've barely ridden. As we were away and DD and I wanted a bonding session we booked a hack.
JESUS! Wales is REALLY HILLY!! Confused
I had a huge TB (a long way to fall!) which was admittedly really well behaved, and the going was a quite hairy!
I made the whole ride. I got to the end, was still on the horse, didn't cry and I had my eyes open for most of the time! Grin
GO ME!! Grin

We have loads of fields to ride round, no need to go anywhere near any roads, and if you come soon you will see cast and crew of A Major Film at my stables ;)

OOh, sweet boys!
Heres an idea....Ill come over, we can get a job as extras, and we can be like French and Saunders, in their Titanic spoof, standing in the background saying "Rhubarb, Rhubarb" and getting in the way! Grin
