Ive had my new girlie for about two months now, in that time we've had to install some weight into her, sort out an abcess, re-shoe her and introduce her into her new surroundings.
Now she has a tendancy to be nappy and for some reason i wimp out and i get off and walk her to where i want her to be.
I dont trust her at all very much, even though shes done nothing to make me feel this way- i just seem to loose every ounce of confidence i have unless i have an instructor standing there.
Anyway, today she was nappy up to the school so i walked her up- got on and walked around, then no sooner did i ask for trot she spun and marched to the gate.
I continued to push on and she continued to spin so i kept making her walk past (walking was fine, but again no way was i getting more than a few strides of trot out of her)
I gave up after a 30 mins and ended on a good note of some good bending.
She had her jabs 2 days ago (never had them done so i started up them) Also, her new saddle is on order but shes had a full MOT around 4 weeks ago.
Was she just feeling funny or am i rubbish?
