Golly gosh, it’s been about a month since riding S&B so today, riding both of them, is a complete joy 😍
I hadn’t ridden due to too hot weather with flies then constant rain (which we needed) and also from having tweaked my back a few weeks ago it was too painful and risky to ride. I’ve been resting my back a lot and the last two days haven’t been nearly so bad SO with my back brace on I decided today was a good day to ride Bella and then I just had to ride Stormy too 😊😊😊
They both were lovely to ride, both gave me strong walks, ryhthmic trots and smooth canters…with Bella cantering parts of some circles and Stormy doing canter weave 💕 YEEHAA ❤️😍
❤️ Here’s Bella’s route, we started on some circles as I wanted her to find more symmetry and find her balance turning left and right circles. I continued this pattern as she then did trot better and finally some really nice canter bits of circle too. Not bad for a month off 💖
With Stormy I wanted to keep things interesting SO we started off with some big fig 8’s around the field and then I thought he’d enjoy some weaving…we started in trot but he said ‘hey mom, trots boring,,,,lets canter weave’ SO we did 😉 🙂 What a star ⭐

Then to save me taking his tack off and going back for the quad bike I lead him from the quad bike back to where I take his tack off 😊
what a good boy he is 🐎
