Cantering on Danny!

I went for a ride out on Danny this week and cantered him for the first time!

The first time we were walking around he field, I asked him to Trot on... He went straight into a Canter!
My bum stayed connected to the saddle the whole time and felt so smooth. Was really excited after haha
Think I must have relaxed my hips properly 'cos I wasn't expecting it.
The other couple of times I did it he Cantered straight away but I wasn't as relaxed and had my heels up so my bum was bouncing a bit in the saddle.

Still, I'm learning and was good fun!!!

Chinese Painted Quail

The CPQ are growing up fast!
There's 44 of them and have been trying to sell a few. 2 pet shops I have spoken to are interested in buying some

Got a few photos of them...

Bleached my hair to Blue!

Lidds and the girls I live with have bleached my hair and dyed it blue!

Is for a Birthday social tonight.
I figure I'm 21, a student and can't do it when I get a 'proper' job, so why not now!?

Hack out with Danny

Have had a couple of riding lessons with my housemates and we went out for a Hack this weekend with Lady (who we've been helping to break in for a few months) and Danny. I loved it!
Boxer at the riding school is really good but (I now realise) doesn't really listen to me... Danny is really good and actually listens, stops when I say etc.

We went out for a Hack on Saturday with Nat (brother) and then again on Sunday afternoon
Few photos...

We even got Nat on a horse!!
