that mare of mine!
decided to ride today, you never know the further longlining might have been sufficient to persuade her she can go out on her own and remind her that she'd done so before.
not.
and then she started kangaroo hopping in the arena again and the saddle was slipping even though the girth seemed tight enough..
on the saddle front, think i need to go back to the pro choice girth
on the kangaroo hopping front, god knows, save that the arena's tiny
on the hacking out front. i'm hacked off.
friend suggested that i get RI to take her out, and i think i'll go with that suggestion.

Phooey, I don't blame you for being upset. It's not as if she hasn't been out there before. *sigh*
It sounds as if she needs a stern hand, but I don't blame you for not wanting to fight it out with her yourself...shades of Tucker and me. Perhaps your instructor will have better luck.
I can't think of anything constructive :-( it will come back it's just another blip.
that's just it, trudi....what else is there that hasn't already been done!
i still reckon something happened before i got her that no one has been told about ....
I would be inclined to agree Claire because the majority of horses don't take the time to be a pain in the @rse to us, generally they're trying to tell us something.
Hope today is better.
no - it's raining, and will do so all day, and i wish i'd put a rug on her!
Anky is really hard work to hack out alone Claire, I've decided I'm going to start off riding her out but attach a long lead rope to the saddle and if she stops, gets worried or refuses to go i'll get off and lead her for a while until she calms and i can get back on and continue the ride. Do you think that would work with Molly?
nice thought di. but i can only get on if i have something to circle her round if she won't stand... she won't stand at e.g. gate/fence/like that, even the fixed mounting block in the yard isn't working ATM have to use my moveable one!
and it's not as if she's spooking or anything, she's not.
