because i got paul to hold her head! course, stood like a lamb. then wouldn't go through to the arena - it was dark by this time and she could hear but not see george changing his horses rugs, and there was a light where there isn't usually. got there eventually - think she decided it was better than going out! which was her only choice.
had some occasions when i really felt her back round under me, which was good.
i struggle to relax i think, but when we both get it it's good.
this is all really stretching my hips, which is good!
Caroline, yes, she knows what she's doing
had the stephens numnah under the wedge panel ... put the stephens in the wash to try and soften it ....
and then to cap it, kirsty essentially said molly wasn't the horse for me if molly won't do what i want, and it's all about the relationship between us and actually quite upset me, i think ...felt quite upset at what she was saying, really.
academic anyway, can't see anyone wanting to have the molly mare until she is doing the things she currently doesn't!
when the weather improves - or rather, when the days are longer - we'll try going out again.
daft thing is, couple of them had ridden this afternoon, but i didn't know. i suppose i'm no fun to go out with as we never know what molly's going to do (usually she's ok in company, just if she finds that she's not it gets a bit pear shaped!)

Molly can be frustrating, but you are making progress. If you had a regular trainer who was good at solving "Molly" problems, you could progress even faster.
In the meantime, enjoy your successes and don't fuss too much about the failures along the way. Things take time.
