Tinypony made a good point on another thread. We all like to say how wonderful our horses are - perhaps to avoid being thought of as lesser horsemen/women?
So, lets hear your horses imperfections! Personally, I think so long as you're actively working on them, there's no reason to worry!
Ned doesn't travel and I can't practice because I have no trailer. I can't get on by myself without a huge battle, if someone holds him he's fine...though that's not 100% relative as I'm not riding him for a while. He can be a little spooky. He's a bit iffy with the farrier, but getting better quite quickly. He can not be left alone, I'm trying to work on this, but I don't think I'll ever be able to leave him.
Cookie...well...I've not known him long enough to know them all like Ned, but he can bite and if he's feeling particularly energetic, he might not let me catch him right away, but after a wee gallop around, he'll always come round!
