I did it!
Last year I could just about ride for 20 minutes - on June 17th I rode 20 horses from my yard or belonging to local clients for 20 minutes each in 1 day. Some I schooled in the sand school, some out for rides on the farm, and I jumped 3 horses ranging from 13,2 to 17.2 hh. Even Kinza behaved himself!
My training went pear shaped when I got bucked off Kinza 3 weeks ago but the wounds healed and all went to plan. I really enjoyed the day riding so many different horses -thanks especially to all those who kept the supply of horses ready to ride.
And more thanks to those who came along to the last hour to cheer me on , laugh when my knees buckled as I got off the last one [ carefully chosen as small and easy to mount & dismount!] and to help drink the bubbly. And I can still walk this morning - only my neck is stiff.
