Haylage Monsters

Well we were rained off yesterday, but today we(Jim and I) managed to get out for a ride in a nice bright spell.
They've just baled their second cut of silage here,(I'm sure it was good enough to be haylage!! sigh....)and as we rounded a corner we came across a herd of haylage monsters just waiting to pounce. Corky was taken by surprise, ("they've never been there before"!!!) and as leader of our little group, took immediate action!! It was quite funny really, Corky does have her dizzy blonde moments and she really took exception to the dangerous specimens before us. It always makes me laugh when Corky does this, she really can spin round and go backwards rather quickly. Jim wasn't laughing though, he'd only signed up for a nice sedate walk out!! Of course, Anky was convinced by all this and decided to take evasive action of her own. I'm sure she was just practising her pirouettes, but gave a very good impression of a spinning top. Anyway they both calmed a little, but Corky was adamant and shook her head forcefully when he asked her to go forward. We were very close to the road, so Jim, rather tactfully, dismounted and led Corky past. Anky was happy to follow, this time practising her half-passes. LOL
We continued the ride, Anky was hyped up, but she settled quickly and started to relax and stretch over her neck into my hand. All-in-all an eventful, but very enjoyable ride. Both horses and riders came back happy and relaxed.
I do love riding!!
