i did my second ever endurance ride today! Was really wet and muddy but the horse was brilliant after her initial explosion in the first field. She just settled down and worked! Loads of water, couple of train tracks but a good trot and canter round the 32km meant we finished with a good average speed of 13km/hr :) just struggling to calm her down fast enough to reduce her heart rate to a grade 1 but we got a grade 2!!
Will be taking her hunting once baby arrives and I'm back to riding fitness! Think she's ready now to handle it!
