I've had a really weird day today, gone from one end of the scale to the other, and put me in a depressing mood.

I got up to the field this morning to find Tont lay down in the field shelter, so I went and sat down next to him. He nuzzled me and I gave him lots of kisses :) And then he just flopped, and lay completely on his side with me sat next to him. Worried me to start with, but then he lay back up and started yawning. It made me feel really special :D

And then we went out for a ride. We got on in the layby next to the field gate, and firstly he decided he was going to go back into the field. I turned him around and we walked on a bit futher. He stopped so I kicked him on, so he bucked and then trotted back down the road, with no brakes. He wouldn't turn around so I thought I'd get off and lead him for a bit to calm down. Tont didn't want to walk so Sue lent me her whip so I tapped him each time he stopped. Got back on him, he wouldn't walk so I tapped him. So he turned and cantered off down the road, bucking. So I lead him on a bit, and we turn around. Tried him again, and he wouldn't walk, just bucked. So I lead him home.

We thought we'd try him with Sue leading him from Pidge. And he behaved perfectly.

I just don't know why he behaved like it, he's never done anything like that before, even when we were backing him he never bucked once. So I've gone from thinking I owned the most amazing pony to, I don't know. Tont's my first pony, and it isn't meant to feel like this.

Sorry that it's so long, just needed to get it off my chest.

A HUGE muffin if you finish :D Nicole x
 
Aww no! Don't let it upset/worry you though it could just be a one off. I've learnt to be an optimist after all my ups and downs with polo pony, as he too is my first xx :)
