MOOD: Very very Cheerful Actually!!

Ok well, I rode today. Because Alex (Trump Card) doesnt have a horse at the moment (at the pony club) I asked her if she wanted to come down and ride Crunchie and she said 'yeah why not'.

So she bought with her, her dressage saddle, numnah and all that, I said to her when we were ready to tack up 'since your riding you can tack up' and I ended up riding for longer oops!!

I got on and was walking and trotting around, just getting used to a different saddle, and actually riding again. He was working quite well, on the bit, very forward and willing, but not rushing. Then I took him in the arena to do our cantering He was still quite forward, though I was holding a dressage whip (he works better with one) anywho, couldn't resist taking him over like a 1ft6 cross bar on the ground.

I know its TINY but I was happy we jumped it, because then they put it up to a 2ft straightbar, and we cleared that fine as well. Channelle (stars of vegas) was having a little trouble with the cheeky Vegas over jumps today, so it was put back down to a crossbar, we kept jumping it no matter what it was and then Alex hopped on. Her and Loz (lil_loz_rox) were having races around the arena, but Roy beat my dear crunch by a mile hehe Alex says its the rider not the horse. Lol not sure

Then we untacked all the horses and put our tack (and ourselves) to the side of the arena and let them walk around the arena without tack on, and they all rolled at the same time (Crunchie, Vegas and Roy) then Crunchie was the only one still on the ground, he wasnt sure whether he wanted to go for another roll or not, I thought he was stuck or couldn't get up, but then all of a sudden he was back on the ground rolling in the dirt. Then it got to the point where he was just lying on the ground, and I went over and knelt down beside him and he was like 'Hey mum! What are you doing on the ground??' he looked so confused and alert and i was patting him and kissing his head, and i could have sat there with him all day But then Lauren goes to me 'Look out, Roy's coming' and me and crunchie both jumped up as fast as anything hehe Crunchie is a sook and Roy is dominant, and I didn't want to get stuck in the middle!!!
