The Occasional Dave Part 2.

[Dave's Mam]

It seems all the pics disappeared from the original post, but hey.
I have taken leave of my senses & entered Notts County Show representing the Exmoors, so we're tidying up & getting pretty. Mane is nearly behaving after a few days in plaits.
Only a front end pic, he was warm, needed a wee, so the 5th leg is out!

My first pony was an Exmoor! Taught me everything I know about sitting handstand bucks, head snapping shies, the ocassional necessity of one rein stops, heels down/hands light and low/relaxed reins when jumping and the lean-forward-at-all-times rear.
If he didn't do what I had asked, it was my fault, not his. I hadn't asked in the right way. He (usually) repeated his query in a way I could understand and learn from.
He taught me to throw my heart over first when jumping giant hedges out hunting, to kick on when I was frightened and to pat your mount every time you both finished what you had set out to do. Even if you had failed, it was NEVER the pony's fault.
Those are lessons I have practiced ever since and, seventy years on, still use the insights he gave me.

We had a fabulous day at Lambley today. Despite my worries, he loaded perfectly both ways, and we got 2nd in Open In Hand & 7th in a very strong Mountain & Moorland. Dave was tired, as we'd been there for 5 hours before our classes started, but he still did his best.
