Congrats to Ruffles from the blog Just A Girl And Her Horse for getting a marvellous new horse called Romeo! He looks awesome! I hope everything works out really well with you three..
This these past few weeks have been filled with DRAMA!!
Firstly, i thought it would be great to try out that new arena. Hmm, doing my usual groundwork, the sideways game along the fenceline, i kept pushing prince to do the best sidepass at a trot, long the long side of the arena. i wanted him to at least the half i had picked out for him. i pushed him along way to hard and i was watching his body language but i wasn't LISTENING. I saw him panic, but to what i've seen it was so little i ignored it, and he jumped the arena fence. Straight from a standstill to a full metre. It was impressive (IF he had missed the top rail) but since he hit the top rail the boards just busted. The boards were nailed on the outside of the arena just so you know. It would have been a perfect jump too, only if he had been trotting or cantering he would have cleared that last inch or so.
I decided to get on and ride him after that because he was calm. Well! that was a wreakage waiting to happen! he was hot and tired (well it was a boiling afternoon) he didn't want to do anything except stand there, or walk. Boring! i wanted to work on my trotting and maybe canter again.
So anyway, i've been so busy i haven't had a chance to ride him again although i desperately want too. But tomorrow is another day..... if it's not raining.
Prince's mane is growing back already, from the cover, Ruffles gave me. Its already an inch and a half long. Amazing! its only been what, two months or less?
Oh and the other drama, my stupid blog is playing up, it won't let me load anymore photos on here. i can load them on the the little thingy, but they don't show up, they just come up as little white squares.. Pain in the - you-know-what!!
Anyway, maybe it will let me load videos! I think i might have one of prince having a canter after i let him go... I'll go and see..
