Teddy boy is yet again proving how unpredictable young horses can be.....and driving me mad in the process!
Since his disastrous first show I have taken him off his Dodson and Horrell Suregrow and within 24 hrs the difference was amazing. We can now load and travel him alone and his behaviour was resembling a donkey, so I really thought we were making good progress.......how wrong can you be!
Yesterday I separated him and Kinzzy for an hour or so, watching all the time. He couldn't see her but never bothered at all....not even lifted his head. Did the same again today and admittedly I did leave them for a while....when I came back Teddy had demolished the fence and clattered through the water trough to get back with Kinzzy! God I just can't stand his unpredictability and to make matters worse, he's got a huge gash on his back leg.....with a lovely big puncture wound!
I just think I'm getting somewhere with him and understanding him, then bang goes that theory! I'm tired......so tired!
I know they are challenging and its a bit of a roller coaster ride, but right now I want to get off!
