Horse is now fit and feeling rather well....

[Ginn]

Well, she's fitter than she was thats for sure!! Took her on a good 8 mile hack tonight fully expecting a knacked pony by the end of it especially as we had a damned good canter (now that was fun

). Anyways, she is feeling well and judging by the fact that she had only broken a sweat under her saddle and girth she is clearly getting much fitting so I doubt the knackering her first tactics will work. BUT she was a sod for the last 3 miles tonight! In the woods we reared followed by broncing on the spot as Bec's couldn't get the gate open quick enough - at both gates!! and then for the first time ever she was a sh*t on the roads for the last mile home and we has some squeeling combined with broncing sideways down the road when I wouldn't let her take the lead!

She was fab in the canter, forwards and we found another gear. Perfect breaks etc and no bucking but the problems then arose afterwards as she decided it was all rather too much fun!

Sooooo, I was thinking of sticking her on Karma, just to knock the "opinionated little sh*t" edge of her?

Yay or nay?

She's not naughty naughty, just completely full of herself (I did giggle at the squeel-buck-squeel-buck-squeel-buck) but equally my confidence is good atm and I don't want her knocking it or ending up having an accident as we do a lot of hacking on the roads and my feeling is she is only going to get fitter!

Ah bless Ginn! Has she been off work and box rested or something? Sorry, can't recall the story. It might be that she settles down after she realises that life is back to normal and she's getting regular work so it's stops being quite so exciting. Would she do 8 miles at a steady walk? I'm thinking un-exciting stuff, but make her work at the same time. Otherwise, guess she might need a bit of something to calm her down or your confidence is gonna take a hit. Is that her in the face mask with the oh so sexy pink ears? Love it! x
