Rode George yesterday first thing in the morning. Weather was meant to be bad so had ridden by 0845! Just walked today. Concentrating on forwardness and bend and a bit of roundness. Got on him without lunging first too which I was chuffed about.
Lisa is mega in season and totally in love with G. She neighed the whole time and began to really puthim off. He was distracted and calling back and even had a mini strop when I made him head away from her, stamping his foot and throwing his head! I growled and kicked him on and he did as he was told, bless him. He then did some really nice softening and went a bit rounder so very pleased.
Ron came today to shoe him. He said he's got great feet, no issues that concern him. Had to shoe him inside as it was peeing down but G didn't mind. He was as good as gold and just munched his hay :) In fact, he was nearly sleeping by the time Ron finished!
Felt awful turning him back ou in the rain but he seemed unconcerned and was much more interested in the calves that the farmer had moved into the field along the road :) Love this boy!
