An update on Herbie the not so happy hacker.

[LauraWheeler]

Well today i took him out again after lunging the last two days. He is so good on the lunge now i think we've cracked that .
Anyway i got him in and he was good, i got him ready and led him out the stable and down the path to the driveway. He went streight down and didn't nap in the yard like he normaly does . He was good for me to get on and walked streight on without any fuss. He stopped a once when a dog barked at him but i kicked him on and he went I got off to lead him past the KILLER pig as yoyo would not go past unless Herbie went first And it did run at the fence again so it gave Herbie a bit of a fright to but he followed me passed and i got back on. We carried on up the drove road and he stopped a few times but again when i kisked him on he went . It was all going well till we got to the sheep. Herbie desided he wanted to stay with the sheep and planted himself on the spot. When i kicked him on he just went backwards So i got off and led him a short distance and got back on. He tryed one more time to stop but i kicked him on and he went. He was good for the rest of the ride and we even had 2 trots (rather unwilling and slow but a trot none the less). He even went in front on the way home past the KILLER pig I'm so pleased with him today i don't know when i am able to hack him out again but i hope he continues to improve. He will be a nice pony oneday
Thanks for reading.

Well done you! I only hope I'm as successful with Lil when the time comes to try her on her own.

Well done, it always sounds you are doing really well with him!

I have always read your posts (though not replied yet!) in the past and find it really interesting to read your little progress reports Hope Lucy is doing well too

Thankyou.
dwi we are not hacking alone yet although the other pony makes no difference. Yoyo can walk off round the corner when Herbie is napping and he doesn't care.

E_Lister Lucy is doing well thanks. She is putting on a little weight and is still as cheeky as ever. She is very cross that i'm not riding her at the mo especialy when she sees me going out on the others, but i don't want to ride her while she's skinny hopefully she will put enough weight on soon and i'll start riding her again.
