Bloooooooooody ponies!!
Had a really lovely girl come to try my little NF yesterday. Shes about the same height and build as me so bit of a pony squasher but I think he needs a bigger capable rider at the mo. Just wanted something to hack and bring on in the school so perfect. Pony has been an absolute superstar lately so I was optimistic.
We groom him and tack up, she loves him, all going well, I get on he is good as gold bit hyper but not much more so than normal. I get off, she gets on.......bum barely touches the saddle and he broncs - I am still holding onto him at this point but he kept doing it. She sat really well bless her but the saddle started to slip so she plopped off. Luckily all ok she thought it was quite funny and that he just didnt like her! Suprise suprise she decided not to buy him though
I got back on and he was good as gold!! ARRRRGH!!!!
I am trying to think what could possibly have caused it! Nothing that I could see anyway! And if she had poked him with her toe surely he would have bucked as she went up not once she had actually sat down. Sure he knows I'm selling him and doesnt want to go!! Just a bit worried now in case this is something he will repeat! I have put other people on him including complete beginners and he has been fine.
hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
