A very gushy post about my gorgeous girl :D

She's been back in work now a while after almost a year out due to my unexpected pregnancy. She has been an absolute star, we did have a few spooky moments during the snow but thankfully shes back to her wonderful very safe self. She has come back much stronger and very willing, she really listens to me when am on board and almost just goes on voice command. For a 5 year old she is very sensible as if she has been here before.
My daughter who is 8 this year has been hacking her out (on the lead-rein) and had a go round the school off lead rein, cob was a saint and listened to my daughters voice commands. The kids love her and she will happily stand around to be groomed by them :)
Her schooling has improved wonderfully - she is so light in the hand and loads more forward. Obviously we still have a way to go as she is green and her canter is unbalanced but where getting there.
This morning i took her out with a few friends across some big open fields, we had a lovely stretch of canter, never was she strong even when the other 2 left her behind. I could feel there was def more there if i had let her go but instead she listened to me and we had a steady canter behind. :D:D
Chuffed to bits with her, this month is our 4 year owner-versary, she was such a find! :D:D i feel very proud as backed by myself and a friend :)

So versatile!

She is gorgeous. Looks so grown up now:) glad she has come out of the spooky phase, gives me hope that my boy will too...he is 5 as well and of cob type.
 
Wonderful, what a lovely looking cob. Glad she is going well and positive across the open field(a good test eh). Nice pics. I am sure animals love most kids too and good for them to have a small person on their backs too. Good luck.
 
Thank you for all your comments :)

Hoping to get her out bit this year, we have a local show next sunday so looking forward to the open cob class :)
