fancy riding with us next year? A group of us are doing a bespoke ride in June, very similar to the Tor to Tor (perhaps slightly more relaxed!). We have one spot left, so if you’ve been thinking about it but worried about coming on your own, this is the group for you. A lovely group of women, lovely horses a chilled vibe. I’m coming on my own, why don’t you join me? Pop me a DM with any questions or speak directly to Liberty Trails ❤️
You’ve inspired me to book some riding on my upcoming holiday! And I hope you’ll find overall this experience to be a massive boost to your confidence and riding ability, even more so for the challenging nature and wobble you had, we don’t grow if we stay in our comfort zones.
Wow really enjoying watching this trilogy series. You did so well, that riding looks fast paced! I can’t wait to see episode 3. And well done for being confident enough to speak up about wanting to change horses x
You're not a failure. We are not compatible with all horses. Seriously, we are not. One of my favourite horses was my sadly departed Thoroughbred who was so good in traffic that he cheerfully ignored the fact that I am scared of traffic. I miss him. Reality says that if he hadn't been put down at the age of nineteen, he'd be thirty years old now. Not likely. Oh well. Be kind to yourself.
Glad Hattie was more suitable- did you just do a straight swop with another rider then? If so, did they like Welshy?! If you don't ask you don't get I always reckon!
Yes a straight swap - with Isy, a rider who has been doing the Tor to Tor for years - a fabulous rider who rides horses professionally, so she was very happy to hold Welshy's hand a bit more!
Funnily enough someone had swapped FROM Hattie to Buttons on day 1, so Isy went Buttons > Hattie > Welshy over the three days 😂 but she did say she enjoyed having the different horses to experience. A bit of a different year for her I suppose!
You were amazing and so glad you were brave enough to speak up and change horses and feeling happier with a horse similar to what you normally ride. 🐴🐴🐴💜🇮🇪
Hey what a stunning place to ride!!! I’m happy you got to enjoy your ride better once you swapped your mount! Hattie looks like a very nice horse. I feel I’ll need to start saving for a holiday like this!! Just curious about the safety vest, do you fit it again for when you’re wearing those clothes versus summer when you wear just a shirt? I recently purchased my first vest and am utterly confused about it 😂
@@gatosandwichera thank you! And great question - the body protectors are designed to be as close to your body as possible and fit tightly whenever they are worn, so you a vest /baselayer underneath and anything bulky like coats / big jumpers on top.
