hack

On saturday i finally went out on another hack :) but this time i went out with another girl from the stables, and one of her horses.
Omg it was soooooo cold i was shivering and wishing i'd taken another jumper (i already had like 3 on lol)
we went down one of the trails that they call 'the long dogs' and theres also a 'short dogs' where ive been before with zind so it was nicer to see another place we could possibly go, when its not so wet because it was pretty wet, and boggy.
we went down this long trail for about half an hour, shes completley different outside of the school. she can sometimes be strong but she was so much stronger out. pulling to get ahead and jogging on the spot, but as we reached the end of this feild bit she calmed down and just relaxed.
but after that we came onto this road bit. well i say a road i dont know how to describe it- its like this road that noone ever uses now and its part of 'the dogs' now and just basically used my dog walkers and horse riders and there horses.
but omg i was freaking scared out my head lol. because as soon as we got onto this road all you could hear was these dogs barking cos theres this house and they have like 50 dogs and they never stop barking- so zind just started playing up, being strong and trying to take off and walking sideways lol. but what made me scared was the fact that theres just feilds either side of this road- but also these HUGE deep ditches most of the way round and they stop just before you get back to the stables- and as zind was playing up i was quite worried.
it got worst when we went past the house with all the dogs, because jazz(the other horse i was with) got quite in front because, as her owner told me, she speeds up on the way back, and zindy likes to race lol, she likes to be at the front, but she was behind jazz so she was racing to keep up, but i held her back because i didnt want her taking off and spooking when these massive ditches were next to us, so she became really strong so jazz had to keep stopping to let zindy catch her.
after that it was better. it was so nice out even though it was freezing and zind was being a gay. but it was nice just being out of the yard, and riding with another horse was good for me and zindy i think (:
just as we were near the yard zindy spooked at a passing (random) chicken- which was actually quite funny and a relief she didnt spook near the ditches (:

wish i could of taken the camera though:( but ho hum- maybe next time!
