Oh to be in that saddle again

Well its been nearly three months since Tetley got a tendon injury and after weeks of box rest and then a couple of weeks of being turned out today we had our first hack out.
I've missed riding him and I know I'm lucky having two horses to ride but riding Leo (being an Arab) well you have to RIDE. Even mounting is so different with Leo being 14.3 and Tetley 15.3 I just love that big push up into the saddle and then his nice wide back and the lovely creak of his leather saddle getting on.
We only did 20 minutes at walk but he was completely sound tracking up properly and it's good to know we're on the home straight now with this injury. He's back out now with his friends and I'll leave it a couple of days before going out again and only walking at the moment and definitely no schooling for a while. HAPPY DAY

Just Hacking About

Had a nice eventful ride 1st Tets had a race with a Greyhound, then a deer jumped out in front of him, then an ambulance went passed flashing and wailing as we were waiting to cross the road so that freaked him out then when we did cross loads of Gypsy horses were tethered right next to path and then 2 Dalmatians decided to run at him but we went and had a good gallop anyway.
