what a stubborn beast he can be...

but i didn't have to drag him over the stony yard to the stable, so that's a positive...

tacked up, into arena (no one to go out with..) and started off in trot as on saturday....

but not to such good effect this time, as he then planted as i started a turn.....

gggggrrrrrhhhh

he then made like he needed a wee - was certaihnly standing as if he wanted to .... but didn't... despite me getting off....

took him to the stable and stood him in...

brought him out again and got back on..

a bit more of the same!  ggggrrrrhhhhh


eventually, after a load of turns on the forehand, he took a lead from a friend on her horse (she was cooling hers down!) and we got walk/trot and i kept the trot until i wanted to stop (which, TBF, wasn't after too long, but i wanted to be sure i got the halt when i wanted!)

and it was G's big 40 today, I gather she's had a good one....

  1. But...you just don't understand. Those shoes are SOOOOOO heavy. It was hard for him to pick up his feet...*lol*

    I have a feeling things will turn for the better in short order. You had him working before, so you will again...and soon.
