Had a riding lesson on Friday - haven't ridden in about 5 weeks so was much needed!!! Rode my friends 17.1hh bay Irish x called Ralph - notoriously lazy with a VERY big stride.
A nice jump lesson which when I sorted myself out we we're jumping a course of 1m fences - why a clever boy!!! We went for a walk round the gallops to cool down.
At the bottom of the hill on the gallops a deer in the next field spooked Ralph and he took off like a gun shot. He then locked into the nearest xc fence on the gallops- a 4ftish log. How we survived that one I'm not sure but it was a huge jump!!!
Had to go to work in the evening so came home to shower, however as I stepped in, I slipped, twisting my ankle and falling heavily. Needless to say I didn't go to work!!
The next morning I woke up and my ankle felt much better. The same cannot be said of the rest of me which felt like my entire body had been tortured. My muscles were so sore!!!
Anyway I hobbled round work and got my rota for next week - Monday and Tuesday off for anyone who wants to see me lol ;)
Today I'm cooling for the family. Chicken in a cheese, wine and mushroom sauce with sweet potato followed by meringue, fruit and chocolate pecan pie!!! Oh yeahhhhh...
