Yesterday I went to Escrick with another livery K to do a pleasure ride. Her mum had very kindly offered to drive their 3.5t box, came to load and poor Rory was flumoxed- "err mum how am I meant to get into there" 2 attempts at positioning him correctly later we were loaded and away. Got to Escrick with a very fine persistant rain. Well the ponio did good he kept his cool and behaved impeccably even when Twink and K went over the jumps that he really wanted to do but wasn't allowed. We did 10miles of th 15mile ride and decide to call it a day as we were close to the start. Both ponies had behaved and we were rather wet by this point, so we headed back with a little play in the water complex (aka large muddy puddle with logs :-p )
Today I'd roped someone else into riding Rrory so he could babysit Pait out hacking. Just did a quick ride as it was throwing it down again but I had an ace ride with Pait leading a few trots and a canter along the stubble. We came back through the village meeting a small child in an electric toy car followed by his mother attached to another small child and pram. Both ponies looked but went by, Rory marched rather determindly up to it though! Then got into the village proper to discover it was primary school kicking out time cure lots and lots of brightly coloured umbrellas and a road resembling a cross between a dodge-em track and the M62. Luckily both dales stayed on best behavour and we arrived back in the yard in 1 soggy piece.
Pait was giving Rory such evil looks on the ride though and did leg yeild to stop him coming alongside on the stubble. Such love they have for each other- not.
