My baby sis came with me for a hack in the woods today. She rode Nancy & I was on Kika the Chicken.
She is so funny, for as often as she has come into the woods with Nancy & I while on the lead, the terror is real when she has as rider on her back lolz. A few hesitant steps here and there where she got a little sticky but walked on like a good girl when I asked her too & of course Nancy was on hand for figurative hand-holding and general cool-level-headedness that she is awesome for. ♡
She is miles better than she used to be, and will never be 100% zen hacking in the woods but she was as good as she can be. She walked on well, in front, beside and especially behind. She can doze when she slots in behind Nancy lol. My sis got a good kick out of Kika's emotive satellite ears.
Love my big brave girls ☺
Happy St Stephens/Boxing day
A place where I record the adventures of myself and my Irish Sport Horse mare, Kika. Who I purchased as an un-backed 3yr old in 2007. This blog follows the trials and tribulations of first-time horse ownership since moving from Ireland to Luxembourg in 2010. UPDATE: as of 2013, Kika is being joined by Nancy a Friesan X ISH mare bred by my family who I had my eye on since she was a foal and have been lucky enough to buy and add to my equine family.
Sounds like a really nice ride! Enjoy your holidays :)
ReplyDeleteThanks T it was fab
DeleteI'm convinced they fake spook just to get a reaction out of their riders... Wiz on the ground? Unflappable. Rider on his back? OMG EVERYTHING IS SO SCARY! It's ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteKika is just a massive chicken, she is less spooky when I'm on the ground as whatever danger is out there will get me first. But she still needs hand holding - silly scardey cat
Deleteglad you had a good time out there - despite Kika's silliness about invisible monsters or whatever happens when she's off the lead lol
ReplyDeleteI had a blast, very glad we went yesterday as there is now snow everywhere today!
DeleteSuch beautiful girls! I am glad they were well behaved for your ride!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl, I am super blessed to have them ♡
DeleteAwesome ride!! I miss riding with my sister.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky that my family like to spend time with the girls too - nowhere near as much as me; but i am speshul ;-)
