So for the first time in 2 years Shandy is being ridden again. After an injury which put her out of competition for the Young Rider World Championships back in 2009 and then being put in foal she has finally had a saddle on!
Today Shandy and I took a trip up to Haugh Woods with my Nan riding Baz.. This is the first time she and Barik, her nephew, have actually hacked out together since Barik arrived last year. We rode for about an hour only at walk due to bringing Shandy back into work. Shandy is currently barefoot too so she is rather soft footed. Although she is behaving back to as she was when she was 6!! So happy to be reunited with Shandy!!
Djelanza now also leads very well in a halter. We even managed to leave the yard and go for a walk the other day up the lane on his own. Although the house post box apparently is a very scary object until you walk up to it and realise you can push it over with your nose.
