Might get outside this afternoon, but its cool and wet out today. All were good this morning, although the little gray horse was a little rushy, and the bay wanted to jig. I think both are strength issues, but time will tell. Y'all have fun with your equines today!
One of my new ponies, Jessie, a 12.3 12 yo Hackney has been acting like a mad man the last two three times I worked him. Tonight, I put him in a Pessoa and got the same thing. Finally, I took the back piece and flipped it up over his back and he finally settled down. No more breeching for Jessie. Carrie, my assistant trainer, surmised that maybe his blanket leg straps, which he had gotten rearranged and rubbed him, might have given him bad thoughts about things around his bum. Poor guy. He was just as calm as could be without the back part.
