The Dangers of Ride and Lead!

Safety first...

The weather was so dull today I decide to do something different today so I rode Mayfly and led Penny pony, we went on a hack.
Now this isn't the most safest thing to do, but they are both pretty well behaved so there was no serious danger. lol

We set off down the track in trot, unaware of the fact that around the corner was a tree branch so both horses jumped it and then cantered off...I can tell you now that attempting to stay in control of this is far from easy!

Though Mayfly knew that she should not be doing this so she can to an abrupt halt leaving penny cantering on then she got to the end of the rope and went spinning round, quite a funny experience.

On a plus note we managed to get a lovely extended trot going together up the drive, however they got a little carried aways and attempted cantering..on tarmac hmmm I think not!
Also we maneged to be reasonably skilled at gate opening :D


Mayfly got rather angry that she didn't get fed first today, she threw a hissy fit!

- Take a look at the lip

Ha she is so spoilt!
