is this a mad or quite good plan?

[Alameda]

so am finally (after a quite long time) just about relaxing and enjoying the pony who used to rodeo and am thinking hunting, although at present if he is out with more than one horse he does buckaroo a bit although can sort of hold him and it is more sweet that he is excited than bad old days of bolting and doing rapid-fire bucks culminating in an actual handstand

but can work on this over summer and get him fit, then maybe get someone v experienced to take him out for literally just an hour or so every now and then during morning hunting and if that goes ok try taking him myself?

I think it should suit him, although I thought it would suit my horse and the consensus was eventually no, it frazzled his brain and it took a whole to get him right again . Am I overlooking anything important or does this seem like a good project? I need fog oaks and Project Love That Pony is working v well so far

I'd forgotten about ditches.When DD1 went for the first time last season and I warned her 'no jumping fences or hedges',I forgot to mention ditches,so guess what she did? Anyway,she said it was the best day of her life [well she is only 8] and ever since has been asking me how long til the season starts.

I'm impressed she didn't 'accidentally' on purpose go for the fences or hedges!

Hmm,well she tells me she didn't,but I wasn't with her so will never know! I only caught up with her at 2nd horses and when I turned around to tell her it was time to go,she was cantering off into the distance.However,my friend was out the following week and said that everyone was asking her where DD1 was,so perhaps she did do some 'memorable' stuff. I was very proud of her regardless.

Probably better that way.
