After an abscence of almost 11 years, I finally got back in the saddle...the horse saddle that is. Though I am not so sure that following a 30 minute riding lesson with two hours cycling was such an inspired decision. Yeah yeah I ache in all the right places but I think it is more from the vicious bike seat than from the comfortable GP saddle that was on my mount Snowy.
Snowy was a very gentle giant who at one point I did wonder if he had fallen to sleep under me, a quick tap of my own leg with the crop soon woke him up, poor old fella.
Anyway, I wasn't as rusty as I thought I would be and India was suitably impressed with her Mum's horsewomanship. Thank heavens I didn't fall off and humilate her!!
