I lunged Grace this morning and she was being a complete nightmare! She has never been in the school when the gelding has been in the field next to it so all she was doing was shouting to him and stopping whenever she went near him and shying into the middle.
Anyway, my husband came down and I thought, "Sod it, I'm going to get on!"
So on I got, only on the lunge, and after a few circles walking... WE TROTTED! And what a trot that mare has! It's so bouncy and flowing, I am getting all excited again about her potential as a dressage horse. The paces are there, so it's now a matter of channeling it.
Next week I have my instructor coming to do a few 30 mins sessions with her to help me, and I feel so proud to be able to say I got back on after her rodeo act and actually had the guts to trot her. I feel on top of the world right now, so proud of me and her!
Steering leaves a lot to the imagination, but it's a start!
