Sorry very self indulgent post, but I'm absoloutley thrilled with how well B went today. Can't actually believe how brilliantly she schooled today!
Considering just over two weeks ago when I started riding her she wouldn't do anything but go backwards and everytime one of the horses called to her she would have a paddy I couldn't quite believe how good she was. Perfect circles, on a great contact, didn't buck, leap or have a paddy and go backwards when she had to go away from the yard, and didn't bomb off when I asked for canter going towards the yard. She just didn't put a foot wrong.
We were even schooling in a field next to the noisy colt who was going silly up and down the fence trying to get her attention and she ignored him and did everything I asked.
I'm super happy with her, she's coming on much quicker than either myself or her owners could have imagined, especially with all the naughtiness she has caused them in the past. I'm so chuffed, can't stop smiling!
