So Zippy & I were very pleased to be let out without our rugs! Zippy was given an extra special groom to get out all her winter fluff by uncle Tony. She shed so much hair I turned white!!!!!!!
Needless to say after a good groom we both went in the back paddock and had a good roll, fortunately for Mum it was not too muddy so when we came in later on we weren't actually that muddy!
Zippy had a new rider, Tony's Mum (Georgie), she is very lightweight, so Zippy liked her and very experienced, so Zippy couldn't get away with doing anything naughty!
Georgie is mature like Zippy and hadn't ridden for quite a few months so it was decreed that we would ride around the farm - it was a beautiful day, so we thoroughly enjoyed walking & trotting around the farm. Once Zippy had warmed up she went jogging around and I worked hard to keep up. Which meant leaping a few ditches, which was good fun. I did put the odd buck in too but Mum didn't mind.
It was sooo nice even Benji settled down to a bit of sunbathing!
It was a lovely day we had so much fun, hope the sun stays shining, keeping my hooves crossed!
Sun? almost forgotten what it looks like. Had a tantalising glimpse on Sunday but back to snow again now.
ReplyDeleteAll hooves firmly x'd here for sun. Makes the grass grow don't ya know.
Wow, sounds like a lovely ride! Let's hope the sun stays for a good long while :-)
