You are under strict instructions to walk only, you haven't been ridden for a year! The following antics are, under no circumstances, acceptable..
1: Bucking, even in walk is neither clever nor funny, it is not impressive. It is ungainly and undignified and is doing your reputation no favours, my dear.
2: Using pheasants, odd coloured leaves or anything else as an excuse to launch yourself sideways will not result in losing me - ok.
3: Trying to race the collie across the field is also not acceptable, you forget I have control of the reins!
4: The very second you hear the latch drop in place when we are doing a gate is not a cue for you to spin round and charge off. I am not stupid, I know you are hoping to leave me in situ in the air and drop to the ground, I am sorry but you should know by now that I have a good seat.
5: Arching your neck, tucking your chin into your chest and trying to impersonate a Lippazaner whilst going down a steep hill, is not doing your dodgy front leg any good whatsoever - don't you want to get better?
So listen, you are a horse, I am a human - I will win everytime, fact.
If anyone could translate the above into Equine Language and pass it onto my Chestnut Mare
I would be very grateful
