Last week I rode Lara for the first time since my fall and it went so well I didn't want to get off. Giovanni has done such a great job with her she feels totally different and much more grown up, a couple more rides on her there and it will be time to bring her home. Gulp!
Socks is obviously feeling the pressure of Lara going so well that she has been on best behaviour, obviously feeling slightly threatened that she may get shown up when Lara comes home so she's out to prove herself! I'm not complaining though as it's a joy to ride a co-operative horse that wants to work. We went for our first outing to a friends to be able to hack out with some hill work and had a great time, such a good feeling to be back out in the lorry and getting out again.
Picnic is getting very excited that the two youngsters are coming on so well, it means more playtime for her if they are around to do the hardwork so she can just do the fun stuff and enjoy a little jump every now and then! To be fair Picnic has left very big boots to fill for the others and deserves to be spoilt and allowed a bit of fun in her semi retirement.
