Well the perfume arrived today, (v quick service from chaps at pax horse!) So sprayed the stayed amount on my hands and toddled out to long rein the be-horned pony.

She LOVED the smell, kept sniffing my hands and then the long reins I had been holding when I put them on the floor. She was slightly calmer when being tacked up, still hated having girth done up but less head tossing & squeaking than normal.

Long reined in 'school' for a bit, she did have a few paddys, all 4 feet off ground type shys, but then happily pootled round sheep feild, though a very over grown gate down grassy track & past house down road for a bit. Also walked happily thro garden to get back to stables as I can't open drive gate - too little!!

So, did it work? Really don't know, I certainly felt calmer & horned-pony liked the smell, she still shyed, but was slightly nicer towards me than usual, so jury still out......... :)
 
Extra Bonus update - when bringing devilponio in tonight, she sniffed hand (had thought it had worn off long before) then rope where hand had been then gave girly squeak & tried to bounce on me - I think maybe she likes the smell too much, kinda like horse cat-nip!! :D
