The old boy finally did a trot worthy of a few marks, it was uplifted rounded, knees were being involved. Overall it was a lovely site to see him trot towards me with his head held high and his knees almost touching his nose. And what’s best its happened twice, whoop. It made such a change from stoic heavy plodding… Read more →

Rough Round-Up
So the summer holidays have started – they don’t officially start here until Monday, when Steve starts his 2 week holiday. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy with the boy home it’s been a little full on, hence the lack of posts and updates. And why I am going to try and squeeze it all in here. I shall… Read more →
Counter Canter
Just a quickie today, before I head onto the yard to start Nas’s makeover for the beach ride, after thinking about it I want him to have a couple of days to get over the fresh ness he gets after having his feathers clipped off. I am still in two minds about clipping them… you’ll see what I mean in… Read more →
For my next trick…
I shall attempt canter, yep the time has come for me to have a go at cantering, no point going to the beach if I can’t canter hey! I have been upping Nas’s canter work on the lunge in anticipation of this day. Generally I don’t do much canter work with him, knowing how hard work it is and it… Read more →
Horse’s Aren’t A Piece Of Equipment!
Yesterday I happened over to H&H forum; before I start I would just like to say I don’t go over that often for no reason other than time. I have a couple of places I log into regularly and they keep me fairly occupied. When I do log on though I get a feeling of ah I’ve missed this place… Read more →
Outta Coffee.
It’s not very often this happens, but when it does it completely throws me. One of my indulgences is a strong rich coffee in the morning, ideally with a sweet biscuit obviously if I wasn’t trying to lose weight. I was having a conversation with someone the other day how I could live on biscuits and sandwiches. I tend to… Read more →
I Heart Onasis
I rode again yesterday, every time I get in the saddle it feels more like home. I love it I can’t explain the joy I get from riding. And since being on him a few times I look at Nas in a whole new light he is no longer one of the things I shovel shit up after. He is… Read more →
3 Weeks…
Oh my, it’s less than 3weeks now until the beach ride. I was meant to get on yesterday for a wander around the field but I just couldn’t face it. I have to be in a positive mood to even contemplate it; I’m far from positive at the moment. The scales have pissed me off big time saying I’ve gone… Read more →
Happier With Myself.
I decided to get on Nas before lunch yesterday, it was much easier for me. I didn’t feel so bloated and like the fact I had lunch to look forward to. It probably wasn’t the best time of day for Nas though seeing as how hot it was. He was sweating again after about 20mins (which is the total time… Read more →
First Ride Of 2012
And it was all mine mwhahaha, over the past few years I have let people ride Nas and always stood on the side-lines watching, feeling a tiny bit of the green eyed monster mixed in with pure miserableness. I came to realise the reason I didn’t get fully involved with horses in the past was because I do find it… Read more →
