why cant my pony be the same everyday i ride? sometimes he can be an angel. super obedient, turns a blind eye to everything. butter wouldn't melt etc! today was not one of those days. as i was grooming him i cud see he was tense. it was soooooo windy, plus some sheep had jst moved in next door, so they were all a bit tizzy in the field. i choose to avoid going on the hill and jst go for a pootle round the roads.
all was fine, the odd spook here and there. until we were half a mile from home. ben got all jumpy and then swung himself round in the road. the scene behind - a funeral carriage with 4 gorgeous (and obedient!!) horses were thundering in our direction. i decided to kick on and get out of their way. i knew they wud take a right turn away from us eventually. next thing i know, we're cantering sideways down the road!!! oh dear, what a performance. anyhow, we got home and were covered head to toe in sweat. stupid pony!!! altho, we've never seen a carriage before, so i guess i forgive him really!!
