She is just over a year old now. I *believe* she is by Tanyscroft Toastmaster, if this is true then her great great grandsire is Samber.
Here she is
Shes very layed back and chilled, shes been so kool with everything i've asked of her so far
I want to show her inhand next summer in a coloured class. More for the experence than anything else. She isnt a true cob so i would have to trim and plait her for this. Her mane will need pulling if this is the case and for some reason she overly objects to this. I think she might have had it pulled before as its quite straight and she deffently knows what you are going to do if you go to pull it, even just one strand of hair and she objects to it by trying to swing round and shaking her head. How can i over come this? Is there anything else i can do to thin and shorten her mane so its ok to plait?
Also what should i show her in? I guess as a 2 yr old it would be an inhand bridle? What bit should i use for this?
On a different suject. She is good to catch but she always approaches me in the field with her ears back, like this
She is fine once shes by you but she just approaches with her ears back. I was told when i bought her that she had been spoilt with food as a baby and was abit 'what have you got for me?' but i was hopping she would get better. Is there anything i can do to overcome this or is this just her now?
Want to see more pics?
