Old Horse - New tricks: The first Ride. If you had told me five years ago that I would be navigating my way around the Essex countryside whilst on horseback I would have scoffed at the idea. But my retired Arabian gelding and I were now doing just that. I had been coerced into entering our first ever six mile pleasure ride, and despite having over twenty years of experience with horses, up until then I had never ridden over a long distance. |

Long Distance Dreams I have ridden in many dressage tests and jumped over hundreds of coloured poles throughout the years, but it wasn't until Mr Apollo, my beloved Arabian x reached the grand old age of 23 this june, that I really decided what I wanted to spend the rest of his life doing. I have always held the arabian horse in the centre of my heart for as long as I can remember. Throughout my healing career and my teenage competition days, give me an arab over a warmblood any day. |
