Riding yay!
Mar. 15th, 2009 05:52 pmMy dad is doing a mendurance ride next weekend (endurance for carriages) and I've kind of been consulting on training and the competition and so on. Which has brought me back in contact with the endurance world and feeling all wistful for it.
So today I got to go see Rowan and ride for a bit. I brought my own saddle along, which helped being more comfortable, and Rowan had already been for a ride this morning so he wasn't fizzy. I rode for about 20-25 minutes, mostly walking with a small bit of canter in there. Trotting is most painful so I tried to avoid that.
Now, of course, I ache like hell and I suspect tomorrow is not going to be fun. It was still lovely to reconnect with my powney though.
