Maggie and I loaded the horses and met Katy at the gallops to give Sadhira could have a real workout. For non-horsey people, here's a picture (thanks New Forest Equestrian Services):
Basically an equestrian running track - a good surface and no need to stop.
I wasn't supposed to be joining them but Cheyenne was so cross at being left behind when Sadhira trotted off that she made a fuss - jumping around and making a lot of noise. I never know whether to humour or ignore her so was valiantly ignoring her display when Maggie suggested it might be easier if I got on and followed Katy. So, I did!
We trotted neatly round and then kicked into canter and she was off! She leapt forwards and really raced - what a pleasure to ride and easily the best fun I've had in ages. Being completely honest, I can't say there was a great deal of control but I was having such a great time I couldn't care less.
After a few rounds of the gallops, we hacked out through this beautiful countryside...
With these pretty ladies...
Had a quick feed...
Cheyenne and Sadhira
A cuddle with my favourite dog...
Sighed at the gorgeous weather...
And then drove to Hook tandoori feeling knackered, filthy (why do I never remember to bring clean clothes?!) and ready for bed.
Sexxxxy!
Hook tandoori comes very recommended, by the way. If you're ever in Hampshire!
