Hi Slinky
She's at a riding school now, so maybe she thinks that's how all equestrian establishments work!!!! I was so cross when she texted daughter saying sorry can't ride this weekend...I have been talking to her and her parents and explaining that I am selling the pony, not giving free rides!!!!
OMG I think I must be in one tonight, that's twice I've had a mini rant now!!! Ooops!!!!
Sorry peeps!!

You won't upset me - I try and keep things as simple as possible - my RI is very old school and thinks you need to learn to ride properly rather than use gadgets - practise makes perfect and all that!!

Glad I haven't upset anyone!!! I'm very much for balanced and correct riding, and staying off a horse's mouth!!!
Idlp, can be a bit a sweetheart, tries her heart out, but does need a sensitive rider. Schooling isn't her strong point but she loves to jump and is very fast!!!!

ldlp - thats what I thought too - running martingale and breastplate for jumping/hunting.
f_s - rant away -
I'm a bit like that too - apparently its because there is an eclipse but it will all be over by tomorrow evening so we'll be back to normal then!!

I return
I got soaked when i was in the school - eurgh, Darcy did a nice bit of unintentional leg yielding at the rain though
Anywho, gave up with that and went on a poodle around the farm and did some hill work . Took some more photos of him weight-wise but i won't bore you all with them!
Buggar about the people ldlp , have had that happen to me a few times and it drives you mad

Ooh f_s your two look lovely
Very well behaved in the photos.
As you can see - Darcy finds it more fun to hoon around in our "XC field," without much style from either of us!
Woops! Sorry they're huuge

I'm watching this thing on the TV about some big, dead whale on a beach that this woman is cutting up - quite savegly! It's umm..not the best thing to be watching when i'm eating.
Even if she did just slide from the top of it to the very bottom..

Idlp -
a running martingale is ok.
Use it to establish, as per instructors advice, and then when established take it off. It may be that this is one thing you will need!
