Spritely Hack on Lily! | Helmet Cam

—————————————-
Well, the girlies certainly had the wind up their bums today! It was the three mares out on this ride, and they all wer a bit spritely!

Lily was very good on the first canter - I could tell she wanted to zoom but she listened to me and kept quite steady without kicking up too much of a fuss, which was lovely!

Going into the second canter, I could feel that Lily was really full of beans, so I was planning on just walking or trotting onto the canter track, so that I could see around the corner before we started cantering and so that the riders behind had a chance to sort themselves out and get onto the track. However Lily had other ideas: she was very spicy and when I asked her to just stay in trot, she raised her objections by leaping and galloping off on her own terms! It’s very rare to have zero brakes on Lily, but I did have a few strides where I was asking her to steady up and I got nothing, which is always a bit of a strain on the old adrenal glands! However I know that Lily knows when to stop, so I knew I didn’t have to panic and I did get my brakes back after a few strides. The ponies behind were equally as excited to have a little run, so much so that I could see little Betty in the corner of my eye trying to overtake - I didn’t know she could move that fast bless her 😂 💕 

After such a thrilling canter, the ponies took a little while to calm down, but they did eventually and we proceeded to have a lovely hack home!

Hi I'm Charlotte and welcome to my little corner of YouTube, where I post helmet cam videos of me horse riding! I don't own any of the horses seen in my videos. I hope you enjoy!
