TW arrived at the field in the dark today. That's always a sign. Today was the first sport endurance ride of the year!!! Exciting. I had a quick brush and a doze in the stable while she got everything sorted and then we were off.
It's always a bit wierd travelling in a different direction, today I think we went east. It was all nice roads though which helps I think. We were the second people to get there and with a bit of direction the box was parked and I got to have a look around. It was a nice place!
The ride was lovely. We went round with to new friends, Quinn the cob and a lovely mare. Their riders were very chatty and friendly a we had a great relaxed time. The route was different as it was nearly all roads so good for my tootsies. The wind was ferocious but we all bundled together and kept on marching. There was a huge hill, some woods with a great view and a steep track back down. We passed through a couple of villages and a few pubs which made TW think about chips! Then before we knew it we were back at the boxes. Two hours for nine miles with only one little trot. Very good for the start of the year!
I got my pjs on and got on the box while TW went for a bit of grub and then we razzed home so I could get my grub. Nom. Then it was back to the field where I had a huge drink and then cantered down to my buds to tell them all about it.
You are so making me look forward to spring and getting back out and about!
