Rider - they aren't wolves, they're hounds
Mare - if they look like wolves and act like wolves then they must be wolves. I think we should go home now.
Rider - no, we're only just starting. Trust me, its perfectly safe. Anyway they're in a paddock and can't get to you.
Hounds - 'whoo-hooo-hooo' . Looky that way, there's a horse in the lane. Let's all canter over baying and say hello! hooo-hooo.
Mare - I TOLD you they were wolves!!!!
Rider - its ok. Be brave. They can't get to you and they are not really wolves.
Mare - yes they are.
Rider - how about I let you trot.
Mare - did you say piaffe? Let's get out of here!!
Rider - piaffe won't get you out of here, and your'e too fat and unfit to piaffe. Shift your butt and trot. (Rider's note - mare used to do advanced dressage so piaffe/passage steps not uncommon).
Mare - like this? (fantastic elevated collected trot, only spoiled by mare looking over hedge at hounds, and by eyes sticking out on stalks).
Rider - that'll do fine!
Mare's note to self - I'm gonna keep a good eye out for them. I still think they were wolves....
Riders note to self - I now know how to get a fantastic collected trot in the dressage arena. I just need to hire the local hunt pack!
