A bit of fun - different reactions to different riders…

[maya2008]

Coblet today. We had
- babysitter mode (8 yo child on board, hacking to the arena, super steady and relaxed)
- beginner mode (teaching dad to jump)
- turbo mode (I got on so he could jump something bigger than a tiny x pole). Sat down, powered up and we were off!
- showoff mode (hacking home with me on). Wasn’t going to be beaten by mini Welsh behind him, so strode out and made sure he was in front, showing off his pretty outline and being exceptionally forward and well behaved!

My daughter’s pony:
- ‘I love my little girl’ mode - let her spend 5 mins picking out each foot, let her catch her by grabbing the mane, toddled round the arena looking after her.
- ‘You aren’t my little girl’ mode. Son hopped on for a little schooling. Pony went ‘Well, you’re getting nothing for free, make me!’

And mine… no one else rides her cos she can be a right madam for the kids!

Lovely! My old lady schoolmistress is the same, if I get on her she is full of beans, but put a small child on board and she carries them really carefully. Horses like this are worth their weight in gold.

Love it.
My mare went from winning a competitive 1.05 class to gently walking round with tiny god daughter being led by her mum, absolutely priceless.
