Day 11 was a rest day and a day where I had to come up with Plan B. My friend Yvonne was due to join me with her two ponies for a few days anyways so we came up with a plan to continue with just those two, (getting our kit dropped off along the way) then when Yvonne left to go home I would have the two ponies I needed to continue on to the West Coast. Yogi & Swift were left to relax and recover in their field.
Day 12 was a very relaxing, sociable day with great views -that was after being tested out by Skye pony for the first hour of the ride. She needed to know exactly what kind of rider she was dealing with -i.e. how much grass she would be able to sneak in as we rode along! Once that was sorted we got along just fine.
Hi
I found the link to your travels on the barefoot and bitless page, thought I’d say hi. I recently completed a ride from Chile to Venezuela, sometimes in the company of my boyfriend, sometimes not, with four horses. Bitless all the way, barefoot for 2/3 of it. Lovely to see your pics and would love to do the same in Scotland. Well done!
Anna
My fav piccy has to be of Yvonne and the two ponies with the “CUTE” sheep in the background 🙂
