There are days that I could quite happily gift Rory to the nearest random passerby- it's a good job he usually redeems himself. Our current issue is that him and Duke are joined at the hip and removing Rory from the field for riding envolves Duke calling constantly and Rory splattering me in the stable while I "attempt" to groom him!
This is not a nice calming set up to going out hacking so to have this then can't, sharn't, won't at stabding at the side of the gate for me to open it I was not looking forward to todays hack.
Being masochistic I then decided to do the main road route by myself that Rory finds traumatising anyway. Luckily other than straw and hay bales being terrifying as we snuck onto stubble fields he behaved impecibly (for Rory).
