Its the dream!

Long long before we came here, we had a dream of riding our own horses with our own dog running alongside.
We have taken the dog and a horse out, but not the dog and both horses. Before we get on to nice safe tracks we have to go on the road and the dog is not brilliant at roads and she has not been trustworthy enough at staying at heel to come along. Today we decided she was ready. She behaved very well and had a lovely run. Doug (who was on good sensible Owen) had to really focus on keeping Poppy at heel on the road (which was icy and slidey for extra excitement) but once we got to the tracks in the wood, she had a super time running around. The horses weren't bothered by her, we didn't expect them to be as they are used to her, but good anyway.
She is tired now! So are we to be honest. It was nice to get out for a ride, we haven't taken the horses out except for lessons for a couple of months now. It is hard to fit everything in...
