Some of you may remember the lovely Bridget from about 18 months ago when I rode her for the first time in a jumping lesson ( • First Ride & Jump on B... ). I was lucky enough to ride her again on a hack last week - thank you very much to Bridget's owner Maddy for letting me take her!
Bridget was genuinely a joy to ride and I had a great time on our hack together - she was so patient starting off right at the back of the ride when I know she'd rather be at the front, and I particularly enjoyed our slightly faster second canter up a hill, which definitely blew away the cobwebs (I say it was faster - little 13.2hh Maverick still managed to stay ahead of us the whole time so it wasn't exactly lightning speed) 😂
As much as I absolutely love riding the little whizzy ponies, it was a treat to ride something a bit bigger and bolder (but not strong) out hacking again, especially when Bridget brought out her very fancy walk and trot which apparently I found very exciting 😂
🚨For a bit of balance, I would appreciate it if anyone leaving rude or negative criticism/tips/advice would also donate at least £1 to a charity of their choice 😊

⬇️ FAQs ⬇️
🔵 DO YOU OWN THE HORSES & PONIES IN YOUR VIDEOS?
No, all the horses & ponies belong to a lovely riding school, or are working liveries at the same yard.
🔵 WILL YOU EVER GET YOUR OWN HORSE?
I would love to own a pony one day, but for now I am more than happy having weekly lessons on the fantastic riding school horses & ponies.
🔵 WHY DO YOU ALWAYS JUMP THE SAME HEIGHT?
These riding school ponies usually jump more than once a week, and sometimes more than once a day, so we don’t jump ‘big’ except on special occasions to ensure the ponies stay sound and live long, happy lives. Fence height has very little to do with jumping technique or experience.
🔵 HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RIDING FOR?
I’ve been having weekly lessons in riding schools for 16 years now!
🔵 IF YOU’VE BEEN RIDING FOR SO LONG, WHY DON’T YOU COMPETE?
I have no personal interest in competing or jumping huge tracks. I ride for fun, simple as that!
🔵 WHY ARE THE HORSES ALREADY TACKED UP WHEN YOU APPROACH THEM?
This is a busy riding school & livery yard and so the lesson horses are tacked up by the staff who work there to ensure they are ready to leave the yard on time and have been tacked up correctly.
🔵 DO THE HORSES STAY TACKED UP 24/7?
No. The horses are only tacked up right before their lessons and spend the rest of their time turned out in grass fields.
🔵 WHO IS ROBIN FROM YOUR VIDEOS?
Robin is my mum and she rides with me in my lesson every week. She's 66 and fearless as ever!
