Really chuffed

[loopylou]

Yesterday we went on a fun ride over at Cotswold farm park. As you can imagine the countryside was just stunning, the sun shined all day, which was lovely after the rain and winds on Saturday.

Anyhow there was over 50 jumps on a 12 mile ride, and we did manage to jump some of them . I am so pleased as my pony loves jumping but i lost my confidence (not just in jumping, but Sparky has helped me come so far in the last 12 months of having him). I feel i made some great progress yesterday. I would really love to start jumping again, so i can go and do a few working hunter pony classes and a few hunter trials and feel there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. Managed a few tyre jumps, and lots of logs

Yaayyyyy goooo Loopy! Ul be doing everything you wanna do soon i bet!!!

Well done - sounds like you had a wonderful ride! I'm so glad Sparky has given you back your confidence - what a star he is!

That's brilliant!!! Gosh, you've now had Sparky for 12 months? This year's really flown past me....

How is your ankle holding up to being back in the saddle?

[loopylou]

I just love that boy, he is a little star, but can be a little devil at times, LOL.

I know Debbie, 12 months seem to have flown passed. I think it is about the 20th April ish he arrive, which funny enough we have another fun ride to celebrate a year together, LOL.

Ankle is doing brill, but have to admit Sunday night and last night it did twinge a little, but i have been doing so much more walking and running about on it, than i have been up till now. Might think about getting the bike out now the clocks have changed and that should hopefully help strength it more.

well done! I am quite envious of all these brave riders and what they dare do

The bike will certainly help, and at this stage if you want you can move to heat to help with the healing. Just be sure to ice it again if it swells at all.

WOW that is brilliant!! Well done to you and good for Sparky helping you get your confidence back.

Happy, happy times ahead for both of you!
