The reason i'm not very pleased with my pony is, because I had my first EVER Dressage test today (if you've seen my other posts you may know) and to cut it short, I had been practicing and working really hard to make sure that I had it was nearly perfect.And my pony is really good so wasn't worried about that, So off we go both the horses (we went with my friend) load up perfect and I think "yes this will be really good." I tack up and go down to the collecting ring and get on and she stands nicely, then I go warm up and she is a bit strong but fine (probs excited!) Then it's time to go in the arena and she is slightly spooky but nothing too serious, The bell goes and we start the test and lardy dardy da, She's still pulling me but i'm trying to hide it :rolleyes: Smiling away I am , then when I go to trot she is pulling me so much I nearly let go of her reins:eek:! I (eventually) stop at M (i'm supposed to stop at C) and carry on (she's still pulling) I have to stop at X so I pull her back and will she stand still? NO! So here I am thinking that it'll be the best day ever and it was a disaster!! Oh well , I love her anyway and will always , I left the arena patting her so I think she still loves me! :rolleyes: Mabye i'm over reacting?! :o

Hot choclate if you got this far! :D
 
That's not naughty, she is in a new place and is excited/anxious, did you expect perfect at your first D comp together? i'm sure you were excited/nervous/tense, don't worry the more you do the better it gets, all part of the fun :D
 
Was this your first competition? What age is she?
I don't think it's so much naughtiness as just excited. The more you get her out and about, the more she'll settle I'm sure. This is of course giving her the benefit of doubt!!
Nice to see you still love her and I'm sure she still loves you :P
