Tissy is doing very well on her goal of scouting out new rides to try this year. This time we ventured to Creswell for the coloured cob ride, a unique course that the majority of the course is a two way, there and back section. In true Endurance family fashion the ride organiser for this ride at the very last minute wasn’t able to attend but the group pulled together and ran an absolutely seamless event, so thank you to all the organisers, volunteers, helpers and vets for their time so that Tissy and I could have a fun day out.
The route kicked off with an absolutely fabulous section through the Creswell crags, a really nice surprise to start our 16km pleasure ride off with. It just kept on giving with cool little ravines, wooded tracks, lakes and fields.
I’m getting a little bit tired of discussing Tissy’s need for speed and eternal enthusiasm with her but I wouldn’t have her any other way. I think we would be better off entering social rides rather than pleasure rides so that we didn’t have a max speed to stick to, as it takes Tissy a great deal of restraint and walking to stay under 12kph. However, a lot of our wish list rides are Pleasure rides so we will have to continue the negotiations if she want’s to check out more new pony parties.
