I now ride Duchess, she is perfect for me as she isnt spooky and is very careful just perfect for a middle aged woman rider. We have had several canters in the hay paddock and the lunge arena so the next stage is out on a big arena which I am surprisingly looking forward to. She has given me some lovely trot extensions when heading for the gate! LOL so mI will look forward to harnessing that so it comes on demand in the dressage arena. She is so soft and biddable I really enjoy riding her. Photo of me on her soon.
