Annies nick name is now Annie Mannie, as the other only one i can think of is AWFUL lol clue being it starts with F and ends in Y 
We have also decided her show name shall be *drum roll please* ... Copperfield Gold 
We eventually got the saddler out last night to fit our old wintec to her, as we've just been stealing my firends jumping saddle for nearly 3 weeks now 
I shall miss that awsome saddle 
BUT i can still use it when shes not, WOOOOO ... So today we lunged for 10-15 mins in the horrible icky wintec lol and she was nice and relaxed and didnt nap once 
Last week she napped about 5 times then got the hang of it eventually and today not one attempt to nap!! So i was very happy with her *smiles all round* Although we did have some unusal bucking and squealing when i asked her to move into canter, usually shes a bit wizzy on the canter but doesnt usually buck!! I know some horses dont like the cair in the wintec but she doesnt really have a sensitive back, unlike the old boy!! Checked her back before and straight after and it was grand!! Maybe im reading to much into it hmmmm could also have been the whip, i dont usually use that!! But we shall do some experimenting with the saddles tomorrow to be on the safe side. Heres some pics of the good rein, didnt take pics on the nappy rein incase she napped as that would be rather awkward!!
And this is what we got up to last Wed Farrier came over to have a nosey and was rather impressed by her eagerness to jump the vertical to the side instead of the x pole straight infront of her!!
