Beach Ride

We went for a ride at the beach on Wed 14th, it was also my little friend Teddy's birthday. Mum was off work sick so we thought we would go for a nice relaxing hack. Got to the beach and the tide was in so we rode around the bridle paths which was fun except the flies drive me crazy. Cassandra's horse is spooky and jumps at a lot but i just plodded along. When we got back to the truck Mum decided we should have a paddle in the water. I love the water, i walked straight in, infact i nearly didn't turn around for Mum as I wanted to go for a swim but Mum didn't agree. We also jumped in off the grass bank, it was so fun, i enjoyed sticking my nose in the water right up to my eyes as well. Mum knows i enjoy it so she's going to try and get me there once a week to have some fun as our friend Imogen lives in riding distance to the beach and to give me a break from schooling. I have a lesson with Philip Oxenius next week on Wednesday so that will be hard work. We also have the Jen Hamilton clinic in February so we are starting to get busy. We got the saddles fitted to me last night, so it's all go, fullsteam ahead. I also get boxed at night, i love my stable and most night's a lie down and have a big sleep, sometimes when Mum lets me out at 5.30 in the morning i have shavings on my face, the side i've been sleeping on, i love sleeping
