Very exciting news peeps! I went for my first ever carriage driving lesson today and OMG is there a lot to remember! It’s nothing like riding. Anne, my instructor, taught me how to drive in coachman style, so I drove with the reins in my left hand and the whip in my right. It was very odd!

I drove such a cute little pony called Gypsy. An odd coincidence as my first pony EVER was called Gypsy (but she was a girl!). He was brilliant, even when I got things a bit wrong or cut the corner too much, he just steered me round the cone and took us back onto the straight and narrow!

Gypsy is 19 years old (same age as Thomas!), grey and loves polos!
