as a few of you know, i have been having a few problems with my pony and I was just about at the end of my tether. I decided to take a step back, have a think for a bit and just take stock of the situation.
So yesterday, we attempted join up again - and it was a success! after that wonka and I had a chill out day, no stressing about things and it was great! I then had an offer from someone on the yard to help me out whilst riding Wonka - i.e. lead me round on him and take it easy so I could get my confidence back in him after being thrown off which had shaken me up a bit. He was really chilled and even when there was a whole load of distractions going on he ignored it and listened to me. We came off the rope and he was responding nicely to my leg and we did a few circles and figures of eights before calling it a day. this has been such progress for us in a couple of days when we had been struggling for a couple of weeks!
so thank you to everyone for their advice, and hopefully will be posting more happy progress soon!
