We spent the weekend at SERC's Lochmaben ride and had a great time. Arriving on the Saturday evening we managed to get pony corraled, tent up and bbq lit before it was too dark! Then spent the evening chilling with friends :)
Pleased to report that Tyree took really well to camping - settling down to sleep and neither destroying the tent or licking my face all night!!!
The ride itself went really well, I'd been talked in to trying our first competitive ride of the season (34km) and as usual my brilliant pony amazed me. We finished the ride with a speed of 10.15kph - OK the heart rate was a little high at 52 but given the cold driving rain as we finished I erred on side of caution with cooling to avoid a shivering pony. So proud of the beast!
Pleased to report that on the Monday he was suffering no ill effects - I however was still walking John Wayne style!!!
