Took pony out for an in-hand hack today, all going well until we get to a field with horses in, and one charged up to us, and upset mine, badly.
Walked a bit further then went back the way I came, as on a road, and not wanting to cause an accident.
Went another way for half an hour, and then went back the "naughty" way. Had another tantrum, no where near the horses. Managed to calm her down. Stopped until she got bored, moved forwards two steps, and stopped until she got bored again and walked forwards.
Left it at that, and went home.
This field is on the way to the only off road hacking available to me without boxing up, so I'm determined that we will get over it one way or another.
I don't have access to a sensible horse to follow, or someone to lead me.
How would others go about getting over this problem?
