The weather is getting better here, we've been having quite a bit of rain recently but now the sun is shining again and it's starting to warm up a bit.
Last night I was in our back garden with Shadow and the lady who owns the big draft cross in the field behind our house came over to talk to me. She is looking for someone to ride Jack occasionally and has asked me whether I would be interested... Well D'uh ofcourse I am interested.
We where talking for a bit and she told me that Jack is 6 years old and that he is still quite green but at the same time very steady and that he is okay with traffic and barking dogs. She is a very big, short lady and she feels she is perched ontop of him when she rides and she also feels he could do with someone who has more experience to ride him every now and then. I told her what my riding experience is and she seemed to think that I'm way more experienced than she is. I get the feeling from what she told me that she is used to riding typical school horses and that Jack is maybe a little much for her as he has some quirks that she can't seem to deal with. One of which is that he is very afraid of a crop and when out on his own he can be a bit sluggish. The problems she says she has I can deal with, so providing my first ride of him goes well I could have a free horse to ride every now and then which would be good.
She is going to come and see me next week sometime so we can set something up.
I'm think that if this work it will be great
