It was raining, fairly windy and a bit cold…three of Estrid’s least favourite things but we had scheduled to have our first ride in 9 weeks together and the weather was not going to stop me!
I have been very lucky to have horses that I can leave in a field for 2 weeks or 3 months, tack up and get on like nothing ever happened. Surprisingly Estrid was no different, she actually seemed pretty excited to be tacked up and stood beautifully to be mounted.
Despite the gloomy weather, being behind her ears and walking through the changing leaves of autumn felt like the loveliest occasion. I’m so grateful to be back on board in time to go on rides through my favourite season!
