🌾🐴💛 SPARTI’S FIRST SOLO HACK! 💛🐴🌾
Another little first for our gorgeous golden boy… and this time we headed out of the gates for Sparti’s first solo hack with us! 🥹💛
And what a good boy he was! 😍
He set off brave and bold on his own, happily taking in his new surroundings and everything the English countryside had to offer. 🇪🇸➡️🇬🇧🌿
Although apparently English drains are DEFINITELY worthy of a little side-eye… 👀😂
Nothing dramatic - just a quick “Excuse me, what exactly is THAT?!” before carrying on with the job! 🤣
After the recent rain, the ground was finally good enough to venture onto the stubble, so we even opened him up for a little canter… and I think it’s safe to say he thoroughly enjoyed himself! 😍🌾💨
What we loved most was how calm and rideable he remained throughout. For a young horse in a completely new country, hacking out alone somewhere he doesn’t know and experiencing things he won’t have seen before, we couldn’t have asked for much more from him. ❤️
We did have a few little calls on the way home when one of the horses back at the yard started calling to him - Sparti obviously felt it would be rude not to answer! 😂📣🐴
But other than that, he was an absolute superstar for his first time out. ⭐️
Another little box ticked, another bit of Sparti discovered… and another reason we’re becoming increasingly impressed with this lovely young horse. 🥹💛
Brave, sensible, willing… with just the appropriate amount of suspicion reserved for British drainage systems. 🤣🇬🇧
Well done, Sparti! 💛🐴✨
