Tomorrow my daughter, Michelle is taking Rosie (my horse) on a 18 km pleasure ride.
VERY strange for me as Rosie has always had me on her back when competing etc..
Not sure how I'll feel watching Michelle & Rosie ride off into the distance tomorrow?
Good luck chell & have an ace ride - I know you & Rosie will look after each other.

Well they both got back from the ride in 1 piece.
It was 23 km which is just over 14 miles.
Nerve wracking for me watching them set off, then waiting for them at the first check point.
Both arrived home ok, & Michelle thoroughly enjoyed herself. A big thanks to Chris who rode with them.
Lovely for me watching, as Chris owns Nemshozar, who I bred, & is also Rosies foal (now rising 10) so a real family affair!
The weather was glorious which was brilliant after the awful wind, & torrential rain we had yesterday - even had a covering of snow on the ground this morning.
So pleased that Michelle had a great day & Rosie was a star.
One poor lady, got kicked in the head, when we got back to the venue. A horse with a red ribbon on its tail kicked her!! Luckily, paramedics were on site & she seemed ok after a while, but she was so lucky she wasn't killed.
Horses like that shouldn't be out in public IMO!
Other than that an ace day -& my guess is Michelle will be aching to have another go.
Thanks for all your good wishes.
