Chatting to my sister about her SJ lesson today. It was a bit windy and her horse was very full of the joys of spring. He expressed this by a round of busking, squealing and general farty behaviour before pissing off down the long side. Pulled up easily though.
Did he get told off for nearly ditching his rider for no reason? No! Everyone was too busy crying with laughter at how sweet he looks when he's like that, and how close Al was to eating dirt. He got a pat and sent on his way. We're now talking about this episode, cooing over how sweet he is and how exuberant he is when he feel a bit cocky.
Overall, he's a lovely horse who only does this once in a while- normally he gets kicked on/ laughed at and he's never punished for it. He's told off for other stuff (laziness, rudeness, ignoring Al's leg) but this exuberance is almost appreciated (we know there's no underlying physical cause).
What do you just laugh off with your horses?
