The last few days Ethel has been a cow bag to lunge, running off backwards, rearing so high she falls over, nearly whacking me on the head with her front feet ...
Today she was soooo good
Started off a bit dodgy with her running backwards and rearing even though she was on her good rein, but it only happened once and instead of telling her off like I normally do, I've taken to just giving her all the line and letting her faff around for a bit until she stops, and then calmly taking her back to where she is meant to be and asking again. After that she was perfect Still need some work on standing out on a circle instead of turning in but shes getting better and at least she doesnt charge towards me anymore like she started off doing 
Still think shes got a problem with her teeth as she was going really nice and suddenly grunted and ran off backwards rearing and shaking her head around with her mouth open and dribbling a bit so will have a densist out soon. But Im very proud that she was much better behaved today Cant wait to start riding her
Cookies ;D x
