Best ride i've ever had.


Omg I could actually cry. Zippy was amazing :'(

We went to a cirencester park - the ride was about 3 hours long and zippy and I loved every second. There were these 'grass avenues' pic above that went on for about a mile and we cantered all the way. In on of they avenue's it turned into a gallop oopsey, zippys owner was on her horse charlie and we were practically racing the adrenline ^^ We came across some jumps and charlie jumped them while me and zippy cantered along side. I just don't know to say, it was so amazing. We nearly bumped into the hunt! That would of been a disaster lets say : I'm so proud of zippy she loved it so much, just to see how her leg holds up now. Wish i got some on film :( but there was no one to film and no one would of been able to catch up anyway:L I'm hoping her leg will be okay fingers crossed. Dressage championships on friday :)

Love You Zippy ♥

Spring is on it way :)


Today I took zippy up to the arena, bareback. I practiced my dressage, and done the teeniest bit of cantering with her as I didn't want to put too much pressue onto her leg. She was a ver good girl, and I stayed on! The weather was lush, sun was shining, blue skies ... by the end of the ride I was just in a strappy top! In the following weeks, I may start lunging zippy, and in the summer there is te possibility that I can show her!

Zippy is okay at the moment. There is no lame-ness and the heat has gone from her leg, so all goood so far. Will probably go for a little hack later, and tomorrow do some schooling, and hopefully do abit of cantering - Depending on her leg! She's gunna be 22 in May (more like 5 hehe) can't believe it! Golden oldie. I'm really regretting not jumping her bigger and stuff now. Well they say everything happens for a reason ;D
