Today was even hotter than yesterday. It was my turn to go out in the box to sherwood pines. I had a nice snooze in the box and a nibble when we arrived then it was off for the vet , tack on and go. Frank had given me some tips from his ride yesterday and I had to put on a good show to make sure he doesn't replace me as number 1 endurance pony.
I rode with a snazzy mare called ginger, she was lovely but likes wasting her energy flinging herself in the air. Wierd. We did a lot of walking and trotted when we could. Smetimes we cantered. Because it was so not we had to go round between 5 and 6 mph. Today we did 15 miles in 2hr 33 I think. TW was pleased.
Afterwards, I had a wash and drank a big bucket of sugar beet water while a man took my heart rate. Then while we waited for the proper vetting I had a pee and a roll. Oops. TW was embarrassed. It was great. Ginger copied me. Vetting done then back for a sleep while TW chatted and waited for the results. We came 6th. She was so happy .
Finally we were baxk on the road and baxk in the field. Phew!
