Lots of pics to bore you all! Sorry in advance!

Anyway this is Pandora,i got her in August and it's been an interesting few months,she's been a hard mare to cope with at times but i can now see a light at the end of the tunnel.She's 4 and came to me with a untrusting attitude to people (not her fault) and her work ethic wasn't great,i've had 2 experienced trainers ride her and even they've said she's a taugh cookie,my friend (one of the trainers) now helps me with her and she's worked wonders! We've gone straight back to square one: ground work,getting her trust back and helping her deal with 'scary' things! She is a very sharp young mare and we still have moments.I had a fab lesson today,we cantered and did some 'proper' basic schooling,far from the 'killer' horse she was a couple of months back,i have put a lot of money into her already and i can't wait for us to get out there and have fun together. She hated being in a school before and would throw a wide range of tricks at you to frighten you,long story but these pics really do show she can work in a school without you risking life or limb!!!!

She's lovely; my heart gave a jump when I saw her, because I used to know a Welsh x Arab who looked SO like her.... She was strong-willed too!
She really does you credit- going so well & absolutely no gadgets!
 
Well done - your face says it all - v. smiley! I think at least when you finally do get a mare on your side they will do a lot for you!
 
Unfortunatley thats my trainer on board, she rides her 2/3 times a wk for me in the school,i turned up at the yard and i had my camera handy so thought i would shoot away! I jumped on after and had a lesson,it was great! Will get some of me and her soon,just wanted you all to see her working in the school without killing her rider! I had no pics of her up until now and i've had 4 mths! She really is coming round to how i always wished her be: a loving,fun mare.
