By 6.30am I was in the stable nomming hay. By 6.45 I was tacked up and me and TW were heading out for our first hack in a fortnight. It was freezing. I was sprightly. TW was chatty.
I couldn't believe it when we went right out of the yard and headed through the village and on to the main road. We trotted up the main road as it was clear and onto the bridlepath. Te ground was hard and there was still alot of snow about. I wanted to trot , so we did. There was alot to take in but TW stayed relaxed and we carried on despite the huge bird scarer bangs. The snow was coming down all slow and wierd. TW said it was peaceful, I thought it was cold.
Normally when we get to the hedge on our own we turn round. Today we didnt. We snuck around the edge of the field to avoid the scary stuff then back onto the bridlepath and saw two collies with a friendly joggy lady. Along the path, dodging stones, round the little cemetery then heading back. I was alot more chilled by then. TW knew I was hungry so occasionally let me stop for a little grass nibble.
Homeward bound we were super brave and went alongside the space centre, past the fans ( they were off phew!) , had a few trots, back across the main road and home. Great stuff! Back at the yard I did some super grass nomming , had some hay and then tootled bak to the field for a snooze. All before 10am!
