Gwen finally got to ride one of the neighbour’s horses at the weekend. It has been talked about for many years but only happened on Sunday for a short ride up the track round our house and back. Woody is a stud, literally but has not got the stallion temperament you would expect, fortunately. However he is not used to this riding lark so was a bit confused when they put a saddle on him for the first time in about two years. Gwen coped admirably and hopes to be able to ride him some more before the mares come on heat again and our neighbour has to make some money.
