Have been riding Lady lately. Is good to be able to get on her and she copes with my weight. For a start she struggled with my weight and her being so small (150cm at October measuring). Compared to the others she is soooo small. Anyway I have found our issues were mostly caused by me not using a wide enough saddle on her so we now have the same gullet size for her as we use on the 17 handers - she is VERY wide for her size. She loves to hack out - does a 4km hack no trouble and ponies off the big ones for a 10 km hack.
Her schooling in the arena is mixed. She is much happier out hacking. Mostly we have a good session in the arena but her stubborn moments are slightly more frequent in the arena.
Pretty sure she is ready for more and have booked P to do a bigger hack with us as soon as we get a fine free weekend. Probably not this weekend looking at the forecast!!
