Like windsinger I too have only been on a horse once in my life - on Arran 20 years ago, on a Connemara pony with thick chunky legs - we went though a shallow river and up onto a moor - where the horse went and stood back legs on a little hill facing downwards eeeeeek I think he had a sense of humour however I did enjoy the day, even though I couldn't walk properly afterwards

I'm sure you will have a wonderful day - enjoy

Good luck. You sound so excited. Enjoy. Xx

how exciting for you. Hope it all goes swimmingly x

You must be thrilled!!

Looking at the first vid I thought nope but he seems so chilled in the second one. Well done, you must be over the moon.

He has a beautiful way of moving.

Thank you Annie for such a lovely and moving story Enjoy Sue

Wow, well done both of you

You've obviously put in a lot of groundwork with him to get such a good response the first time he was backed. I hope that your partnership continues in the same way over the coming years. Above all, enjoy!

Well done you must be feeling a real sense of achievement now!

Loved the videos

Well done both of you. One of my mini goals is to get on my daughter's horse Milly. I think I am still to heavy yet but she was ok with son-in-law for a few seconds, he wussed out. I can't ride but I want to be lead round the field and if I am ok I might take lessons. I was going to have lessons as a young teen but they put me on a big black 17h ex hunter, it looked a long way to fall so I never went again. I love Milly though.
