Yesterday I reached a pretty big milestone in my horse-riding career.... I went out for my first proper SOLO hack on Harley! Nobody in front.... ...and nobody behind! And here we are, almost back to the yard. We had a nice wee walk and trot ride - so maybe next time, we might brave a canter!

Good going Daren. Glad you enjoyed it. He looks a handsome chap. Let us know if you get to do a canter next time!

Hmm. Wonder why that is? Will try uploading it to YouTube or something and post again.

Time for a wee Harley update.... Last week, we took advantage of the nice weather and went on a LONG hack around the farm - about 90mins to be precise! Not only that, but we had out first CANTER!! Harley's owner Jill came with us on her ex-racehorse, Raymon, and she managed to convince me to have a canter up a narrow track. I had a little panic attack to begin with, but I managed to enjoy myself! I treated the big beast to an apple and myself to a bar of chocolate afterwards!

I draw the line at changing my name to Velvet Brown, however. Well, she rode a big piebald, didn't she...?

OMG pooboards has made my website picture link HUGE! Sorry it is taking over somewhat! Hope it goes back to normal again as I am losing patience with having to change things all the time on here.

Pooboards strike again!It was missing for a few days, just a little cross there instead. Luckily it's a nice picture to look at anyway, if a tad ginourmous!

No worries, I'll let you off!
Anyway - I'm hoping to be able to see a bit more of the big beast in the near future, since I'll be riding him a couple of days a week very soon!
