Old mare showed me up !

[The_snoopster]

I was asked would I hack out with a friends youngster to give him some confidence out and about, my mare is a saint good in everyway "usually). Turned out that there were 3 other horses coming along in the end, a huge 17hh TB, little pony being led by father of rider, and the young cob who needed some confidence.
My saint of a mare decided to snort, fart , jog, pull, scream, fail the brakes, well you get the picture. She decided to race against the huge TB in canter going up an hill, fan her tail and pee all over the place. So much for the cob needing confidence he was a little gem, turns out he decided not to copy his confidence giving hacking partener and was brilliant all the way.
Now I would not mind if my mare was young but she is well into her 20,s I have never been so embarrassed in my life, what was a old coloured cob mare thinking if she thought she could race against a TB. Silly old cow

God I love my mare, we made another new memory together that day lol

this was mine last summer. i had serious words and it was all ok again.

 

[Princess Jess]

Haha that's horses for you! I'm sure they do it just to make us look silly

Mine does this all the time....she is now retired as she was never sound...but when she was sound I tried to 'nanny' a 4yo ......how embarassing. Ended up apologising to the girll on the 4yo..hoping her lovely unspoilt youngster would not try to copy my 19yo spinning, shying, jogging, planting and covering us both in foam!!

Even in retirement she has done it, I take her out in hand to keep her moving and she regularly shows me up!

Lol they like to keep you on your toes. In fairness, mines a sweetie. But after going to vets for full damage assessment after an accident she refused to load to go home. Think she was just annoyed cos she thought it should have been competing or hunting! Quite embarrassing to have to borrow a bucket of feed, several helpers & a lunge line to load a school mistress who usually loads herself or is the one kids have there first attempt with.

Here is her butter would not melt look, sporting her quiff of a hair style that never does what its told.
