A sudden gallop

Hi Friends

With the school concert last week and all the rain this week, Missy hasn't been able to spend any time at the stables and has been having some serious withdrawal symptoms.

So this afternoon, off we pickled to the stables.  Because everything was soaking, she was allowed to go for an inside-out ride (uh...a ride around the property, not in the road).

Off she goes, having a nice walk.  So her coach and I walk back towards the clubhouse.  Next minute we see Missy and Steadfast streaking down the lane in a gallop!!!!  Its the first time she's done that and it was not exactly planned, but I'm so proud of my Missy - she stayed on and even got him under control again!!!  after that he was in the dog box...and my heart was stuck in my throat...

And how am I feeling, you may ask?  

We had Hubby's long service awards last night.  Was quite a fancy-shmancy event.  So to prevent me from keeling over from exhaustion and landing face first in my starter, I decided to give my meds a skip till we got home.  We had a great time and I was sooooo proud of him when he went onto the stage to shake everyone's hand.  We got home around 10 pm (work night - yes very serious stuff), I took my pills and collapsed into bed, fast asleep.

Unfortunately today I wanted to fall asleep at work all the time.  Exhausted! So when I got home at 2 pm I had myself a catnap.  I felt soooo much better afterwards.  Until I got to the stables and saw Missy streaking down the lane of course!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
