Mon 1st June<\/strong><\/p>\n

Been really hot scorching days up here so haven’t done anything with the horses for a few days but today was hot but with a lovely breeze down in the field so we decided to reconnect to them with a wee bit of bareback riding \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Wed 3rd June<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very windy up here today but at least it’s dry. We decide to go out for a walk\/ride in the fields next to ours and I think about riding around the lower field BUT there has recently been put into a nearby field a booming bird scarer to scare off deer in local silage fields. We never know when it’s going to go off or where exactly it is as they move it regularly…I hate it and today, with the wind, wasn’t a day for me to be overly brave or stoopid SO we walked a bit, I got on from a gate then off again and walked more and then got on at the gate again to ride up the hill to home and then do more riding in our Agility area. All went well and no unnecessary accidents as with the wind both horses had some wind in their tails. I really enjoy walked my beauty Bella out and it’s good for my ankle to get more exercise so that helps my post surgery too \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Lovely to have some consistency with Bella’s play\/riding today. It was easier and quicker to connect and she was relaxed and very light off the cues \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
