TW was very worried today. It was pleasure ride time, our first attempt with EGB and this time we needed to have a vetting. She was mostly worried as I don't know how to trot up in hand.
We had a nice trip in the box and then we all piled out and I got down to nomming. Well I tired to but it was distracting. In front of me there were ponies trotting up and down in front of people and behind me there were horses trotting off to start the ride.
TW went and spoke to double Lucys about my no trotting in hand dilemma. Then it was our go, quick chat to the vet with TW looking very apologetic and sheepish and " off you go".....so I trotted like a pro down to the cone, turned round and trotted back. HA! TW couldn't believe it. Double Lucys gave me a round of applause and said I was a good boy. TW said I was an embarrassment. How rude.
Off we set off on our ride with my two new Araby chums. They were fab. We did loads of trotting and cantering, up nd down hills, through loads of mud. TW kept her eye on the pace and when we got a bit unsure Blue took the lead and helped us. He's an old pro. I like him alot. We went under bridges, over a bridge, I herded some ducks and generally had a lovely time!
We did 9 miles in 1hr 57 and TW was very pleased. Back at the box I had a little rest then went back to show the vet I can trot again. She also took my heart rate or something, it was 52 which she said wasnt very good for gradings or something. TW was pleased though.
Some nomming on the box while TW and ZM had a dirty burger then off home we went. To was pooped. I could probably do it all again really. Can't wait for next outing .
