Had a Word in My Mare's Ear

[La Fiaba]

....and she bloody listened!

Ok, obviously she can't possibly have understood what I was on about when I was telling her to stop being soft and just get on with the job because if she doesn't she will be sold and who knows if her new home will have a nice big field full of grass to munch on all day, and a well stocked hay barn so she wont go hungry all winter, and a snug stable for those cold and frosty nights, and of course these new people might not understand that horses like to eat things such as carrots and apples and maise and barley, so really if she enjoys her life here she can stop being a nappy old cow and just walk on. And thats what she did and we had absolutely a wonderful ride together yesterday after that.

This happen to anyone else? Or am I just going out of my mind (perhaps I am the new Dr Doolittle?)

Yep I told my boy if he doesnt start behaving and just get over himself he will be sent back to the dealer (had already been offered a full refund - long story!). Since that day the worst he has done is the odd exited buck when jumping and he planted himself out on a hack a few times, but walked on after a minute so i didnt have to get off! Have been having a lovely time since..... untill he bit me round the face a couple of days ago (and hes never bitten before!!). So we will be having another talk soon

Maybe saying the words out loud gave you a new sense of resolve that she is picking up on? Long may it continue!
