otherwise we'd have spent another 40 minutes standing still...
result?
he'd been winding me up, i think.
make him back up was the cure, and after that we got a reasonable amount of nice walk and decent trot and were then rained off after 10 minutes
but i finished with a grin on my face!
and it had been a nice day (most of it, until about an hour after i got to the yard - typical, finish mucking out etc and the wind gets up and i just KNEW it would rain...but at least i got something done) he had his rug off for a while...and it's forecast to be a good bit warmer than it has been, thank goodness!
H-m-m-m-m, smart boy, that Monfils. He seems to have you figured out. Now you just need to figure him out and get the upper hand.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got him to work for you at last!
Ooh, that's very encouraging! But he may eventually stall at that too. Just have a chat with him and remind him that it's you who pays his board and feed costs.
