Before the lectures come flooding in about not letting her near the pony, he is normally good, this is been a terrible day for me as it is so please don't..
I went down to the stables with my sister and 2 year old and let her go stroke my Shetland pony, he shares the field with W.. W is 'temperamental'. Saw C getting a scratch and galloped over.. I told him to go steady and he stopped next to
me and was having a scratch. My sister then gave C a polo and W went mad kicking out! C galloped to the gate and I pushed my sister away and my 2 year old to the floor, W caught her head as she went down. Balling my eyes out I got her checked over and short of stringing the pony up I left them out! I'm so angry! Owners response was.. 'You took her there', which I except fully but was then followed by 'You sort him out then.' I'm very angry at her blatant disregard of the event as it could have turned out very nasty! This pony is a rescue that was too much for said owner to handle so left in the field and not handled other to the field and back, I won't give up on this pony but I feel like iv been on holiday for 2 weeks and all my hard work with him has been forgotten, what can I do? Thankyou to anybody who read this.. x
