Poor Patchy

You can't blame her for turning around in her standing stall, ha. You wouldn't want to face the wall all day either!  She is sooooooooooooo vocal! What a high pitched whinny, and what a sweet girl!

Jill felt badly hassling the new paint mare to pick up her feet, something the mennonites she came from don't do with their horses, she assumed, because of the equine's unfamiliarity with the process.  The horse still had the staples on her back right leg from the trailering to the riding stable episode, so she really seemed to hate it when Jill picked up her left hind.

Jill's unfinished apple from the day before kept overnight rather well in the car in her coffee cup, and Patchy appreciated the invention. She also probably ate a carrot for her very first time that day, also in adorable little baby bites.   And, she walked so nicely on the lead shank!   She was already nearing bombproof and Jill hadn't even had a turn riding her.

The other instructor made a big fuss to make it clear that she was the person who familiarized the green pony with the property. In water up to the little beast's belly no less? A dramatic tale Jill overheard as she was returning from a hack.  When Jill expressed joy at the challenge of the pony's running trot canter transition confusion, the senior instructor made sure to make the point that the mare's canter transitions are not challenging, and that indeed the pony can easily canter around a 2'9" course, but only with a strong rider.

Jill wanted to continue to try and alleviate her co-worker's assumed insecurity with cooperation and support, because she wanted to be a mature team player.  Jill was very loyal to their boss and the business.  Jill felt no need to put any one else down in front of students and fellow barn mates or to try and create trouble for anyone.  Perhaps she could inspire reciprocal respect?

Was it an honest mistake made in the answer to her question? When Jill asked for advice about the unsoundness of the smallest pony on the property,  this same instructor said "Carry on, we always use her that way." Jill felt sick later getting a note from the boss that the pony's suspensory ligament was injured pony and that the pony should NOT be used.
