Hi Chelsey
Well you have a very pretty horse here, it is also a feisty one! I feel that you absolutely love your girl and that you have a great relationship NOW but that you have had to work hard at this one. I do feel that she is VERY clever and that is great in one way but she can also use it to get out of things. You have spent many rides telling her no, do it my way and she has been quite uppity, NO MINE! Actually it is making me laugh at how strong willed she is, but then how you come back at her and tell her. It is like you two are sisters rather than horse and rider, does that make sense? I havent ever really said that before in a reading (although it is how my pony is with my daughter), but I can see that two stubborn minds have to lock sometimes and you have to hold out with your corrections til she gives in. She is good at twisting her body away to evade things and leave you with her strong head and neck to deal with.
[[ He is very "uppity" and thinks his way is the only way! and she right about having to wait for him to give in, and spot on with his twisting to leave me with a strong head and neck!]] good so far!
I can feel too that her head has bashed into you a number of times as she is not afraid to be in your space at all and you would turn round and just find her there. She is just being affectionate, but with no fear!
[[absolutleys spot on!! when i pooh pick him he always comes over to me, and quite often reverses into the back of me to scratch his bum!!]]
When she gives in, she is the most fabulous horse, bold and fleet with a great jump. She has an interesting jump when I look at her, it is high, but it is also wide like she would have done predominantly more cross country or hurdle style jumping than show jumping. I think she could jump really well to 4 but then her style doesnt let her go higher. However when I ask if you want to go higher the answer comes in your head, yes, but practically NO.
[[ that is exactly how he jumps! and he used to race steeplechase/hurdles! and LOVES xc! ]]
I feel that she is a lovely natured mare, but again, she would be bossy, and tell you when to do things get my food, I want to go THERE not here! As you will see in the reading lots of the words are in capitals and that is where she has emphasized them! At her best she is the most wonderful horse you have ever had, at other times the most frustrating. I do not feel that you are scared of her though Chelsey more that you just react and tell her to get on with it, that is great, because if she saw a chink in your armour she will be in there doing that same thing again and again.
[[ he loves his food! he stamps and wickers like mad untill he gets it! yes the most amazing and frustrating, i nearly sold him begining of the year coz didnt feel i was getting anywhere with him]]
She feels well schooled, has nice paces and can do a bit of everything, and she feels well settled where you are, she has no particular issues she wants to tell you about, eg she is happy with what she has. As I said that though I got a feeling of shelter now I can feel that she goes in and out of a stable, but did you discuss getting a field shelter for when it is hot? That is the type of feeling I am getting, if you did discuss it she has picked up on it and wants that shelter! I do feel that she gets very irritated by the flies and prefers to be out of the way of them. She is feisty as I said so anything that upsets her a little will be REALLY ANNOYING to her, whereas a mild irritation to another.
[[ he is very well schooled and is a complete allrounder, this yard is the most settled hes been, now the shelter thing is abit spooky coz he used to walk in and out of his old stable at old yard and wasnt ever shut in, and we moved yards and he was in over night in winter but as of next winter were having new winter paddock connected to our stables so they wander in and out. and i asked if i could put a shelter in his paddock so he could stay out. yes he hates flies he gets bitten something terrible and comes up in huge lumps!
and hes a complete drama queen!]]
I feel that you have no problems riding her, especially now you get each other, and that she has no illness or pain issues she wishes to bring up. I looked over the photo again for pain, and although I can only see her front on, I couldnt find anything, I did hear the word sandcrack though, so feel that she would have suffered with this in the past (or another horse very near her had, I dont feel any pain just heard the word, sometimes horses just parrot (copy) what they are hearing too). I am drawn back to her feet again, so feel that again when you first got her you had issues getting her shoeing and feet right for her, that took a while, but she is fine now.
[[ mildy correct, he is lame at the mo but on his back end, hes never had a sand crack when i had him, and his feet are terrible hes had every shoe possible on and has just recently had bar shoes on and is now fine which shes got right!]]
Chelsey you have a very bright, fit and healthy horse here, she is feisty and strong at times but you are not worried about that, although I can see a fast ride with others will give you aching arms as she fights to catch up and win! I feel that she is really your friend/sibling and you have a great understanding of each other. I keep being drawn to the words about you NOT being scared of her, it is strange but I feel that when you first had her you were, and that is why she challenged you so much, now you know what she will do in the circumstances you are in, she doesnt. I feel too that she has frightened others, she can set her neck and just go, and she has definitely had the last laugh with some over confident people. She is clever enough to always find a way around what people want, and give them what SHE wants to! Smart girl!
[[yes i was scared of him when i first had him as iv only ever had ponys, and hes sets his head and neck when were having a blast and cant be quite hard to pull up! he has dumped his old owner/rider at a fence and into a water complex coz she was a cocky cow and he said get stuffed, and hes broken a loaners nose and teeth to by head butting them on a fun ride while she was on him!]]
Chelsey, I hope that the reading all makes sense, please feel free to ask questions if there are areas that you do not understand. I know you didnt have any particular questions but I hope things all got answered for you anyway.
All through the reading I have referred to her as she as she feels so feisty but have a feeling that I am wrong and this is a feisty gelding! I dont change readings after I write them though so have left it as I got it.
[[did anyone else pick up on that haha!! he is certainly a fiesty gelding!!!]]
