Ta-Ran-Ta-Rah
I realised the other day where that particular phrase came from. It's the one I want to use every time I take THE MONSTER out for a hoon.
Such an opportunity came today.
We had arranged for THE FELLA and THE MONSTER to go to a cross country course and gallops. Wagon problems meant that alternative arrangements were needed, and THE MONSTER and I (grammer), hitched a lift to the venue.
Wayhey!
What a sweetie she was. I am spoiled really. I barely ride her, but I can pull her out of the field and ride her bareback for 45 minutes, or slap her on a wagon and take her to a strange venue and she'll not be fazed.
She tackled everything. Her first hedge? Second go. Ditch, no problem. Stone Wall, just watch those topstones. Watersplash - well, these are never a problem. But this time we had a log to get over first. It was never in doubt. It wasn't just her first Trakhener either, it was mine! We liked it so much we did it twice.
I confess to being very jealous of those people who can make it round any BE affiliated course, never mind *** and ****.
But I suppose some people must be jealous of the way MONSTER and I can go and throw ourselves over Intro level fences (after a bit of warm up), without ever going out and practising.
Yar-boo-sucks I sa.
