I’m always on the look out for new places to train. It’s quite hard to find places with good going, variation and enough distance to train an endurance horse. And even if you do find it, having a bit of a change and trying somewhere new often gives me a way better training session because the horse and I are more excited for some exploring.
So as Azid wasn’t able to do his scheduled training session I took Tissy on a little adventure to Fox Covert Equestrian. The ground was pretty hard but we did about 13km over the cross country course. There’s a straight gallop up a slight hill and a really nice 500m canter track.
It’s been ages since I’ve done any continuous canter or gallops works on Tissy because she just doesn’t need to. But it was great fun to do some more ‘serious’ training with her, she’s just so good, so consistent in her speed, so forward and fun to ride. It almost made me a bit sad that I’ll not have a horse like her again.
