Went out yesterday for two hours on Nell, hacked up the bridle path to other yard alone, picked up GD on her pony, went for a lovely long hack (and had a nice long canter, and both stopped afterwards)dropped GD and Ben off at his yard then hacked back alone with Nell. Played happily putting horses away, then went home and had celebratory barbecue and one glass of wine more than was totally necessary!
Neither horse put a foot wrong, the sun shone, and I actually had enough bottle to hack alone for the first time in my life.
Made up for a bastard fox killing two of my chickens on Thursday! Will we be able to hunt them again soon do you think? (although Nell can't jump or gallop, but she's really heavy so could stand on them and squish them!)
