Monfy may have been lined at some point in the past, but spent his time today asking me what i thought i was doing....
and even when i changed to lunging, he still didn't want to do anything anyway!
so i took him for a walk down the track , but not too far as it is very slippy for me and i didn't want to risk myself falling over and hurting something else at this point! took him as far as where he can see the fields where the grass liveries are, and to do that, he had to go past next door's giant strawberry (there's a pick your own farm, and they have a giant fruit in the field just behind the hedge by the track i was on). don't think M even noticed that!
and then it started raining again, anyway...
so, need to work out why that wasnt' working today ... have no idea, as it should have!
Monfy may not have done much arena work in a long time. He needs a refresher.
ReplyDeleteI think horses that have been on the track are much less spooky about strange things. There is usually so much hustle and bustle going on in the barns and before a race that they are used to all kinds of distractions....I'm not sure about giant strawberries, but apparently they are included. *LOL*
Indeed. Jean. Im told he will definitely have been longlined at 2 but that is seven years ago lol
