apart, i think, from the small flies getting up her nose...
had to get ready in double quick time as i'd been made late by a traffic jam caused by a closed road. because the farrier had turned up this morning she was a tad footsore and didn't really want to move to the mounting block but when she got there she stood still again.
went out with July on suzie, went round teh 20 acre then through the ford and up round the next field.
on the way back down the hill to teh gate in that field, molly started arging about her head, but i decided it had to be the small flies - there was no breeze there and loads of flies...but she kept wanting to put her head right down (very scary going down hill!) and tossing it about.... settled, so it was deffo the flies (horrid tiny things get in everywhere....at head height!)
then back along the 20 acre home.... out much longer than julie had planned!!
and i can feel my hips opening and my leg lengthening...

Good for you getting out.
I can't really do much riding out because of the flies here. Deer flies in the woods--triangular wings with spots and a nasty bite, some horse flies of varied sizes, and mosquitoes. The little flies tend to go for legs, not noses, though. As much as I love the summer, it surely does take the fun out of hacking out around here.
Still, Molly was a good girl for putting up with those annoying pests. And you are a good mom for giving her the benefit of the doubt about why she was misbehaving with her head. Poor girl.
