The strength of this beautiful creature and the speed at which he can travel should never be underestimated. As an amateur, and having not put my boots on for some years, I am extremely privileged to be able to experience this with him, but am under no illusion that he has way more in his engine that I probably at this stage would be unable to handle. That’s probably best left to the professionals!
From the track to the yard, and it was so hard to end this morning’s experience – some very kind words from both John and Andrea left me wondering why I had never continued horse riding all those many moons ago.
‘We could make a rider out of you in six months…’
A huge thanks to John, Andrea and Mitch Leek for their help with making this challenge become a reality, with a special thanks to the gorgeous Whistle on By for his patience and kindness, because let’s face it, it could have been a very different story!!
