We had a group of school kids up at a field study centre and horse riding was one of the activities.
As I had ridden before the instructor asked me to stay at the back of the group to make sure no one strayed off the route. We were out about an hour and the return mile was along the track. As it was level the instructor said the group could gallop their mounts back.
We set off, went into a trot, then a gallop. Drumdondi clearly didn’t like being last and without too much encouragement from me he put his ears back and went for it! We won by a couple of lengths! Very exhilarating!
