...but all my horses seem to be behaving rather well at the moment
Have started work on Kia, and she is proving to be one of the most sensible intelligent horses I have worked with in a long time. She lunged quietly today in walk with a saddle and nice loose side riens on, and was absolutly perfect. She naturally puts herself in a nice outline and has a lovely walk. Just cant get over how bright she is, picks everything up so quickly!
Then on to the Jerry monster... now this is the really suprising bit
Friend came over yesterday to meet the new one and I had just finished working J, I had given her a lesson on sunday and we had both decided her saddle wasnt doing her jumping position any favours, so when she arrived at mine I suggested she sit in my Ideal Impala to see how it felt. She looked horrified due to the fact it was still on top of Jerry
(Shows how bad his reputation really is
) I said just get on and I'll hold him, so she did (looking a bit pale) she instantly fell in love with the saddle and I said well you might as well have a walk round, so she did. He was very tired to be fair, but she got him working and had a little walk and trot. She got off before he did anything stupid
She did say he felt very explosive but beautifully behaved
It is the first time anyone else other than my trainer (oh and my sister when he broke my leg, but she doesnt count as was a disaster!) has actually sat on him, and he was a perfect angel. So maybe it is time he got rid of his terrible rep
(Which might mean a new nickname as 'The Jerry monster' doesnt really help matters
)
And of course Spooks is perfect as usual
Sorry random post, but makes a change for all mine to be nice to me!
