I moved him back to my parents - where he was when I first bought him.
When he was there I broke my ankle and so my sis rode him, and in that time she liked to sprint him up the long side of the field as its a hill and so good for arse building.
I stupidly thought that he wouldnt remember this................so after our hack I took him for a wanter round the field. Well, I got to the bottom, he was a bit wound but I put that down to the weather and grass. I went to turn and he just compacted and it was like someone shot him out a gun. OMG I had visions of me connecting with the fence and bushes at the top. Or worse, going out the gate I VERY STUPIDLY left open.
Thankfully he did stop, but not without some force, and it was one of those stopping dead in 2 stride jobs.
I am now a little scared. Strangely I am happy to take him in the huge set aside for a burn, but my parents field scares me - possible as its a case of one you get going its a stop again.
I feel like such a silly jelly bum
.
The girl who is going to share/ride him is just to hack him or ride him in our neighbours field with the neighbour - I think it might not be good for him to be ridden in our field until I can get a school border made.
On the up side, the headshaking was not evident until he was made to school. I think it is a boredom thing.
