So the pretty little bay that Jill thought was 100% student worthy, was in a difficult mood today. First she was kicking when Jill did up her girth. And then, she got right down on her knees in the cross ties when Jill was doing her feet.
Jill appreciated that Mrs. Owner offerred to come in the arena if she felt she should have company, which the rider declined. Mr. Owner didn't ask, he just came right in. He even offerred to get on first, but Jill hopped right up. She probably should have lunged first, and next time, she would.
The pony really needed to be sent forward. She was thinking about crow hopping, but she did not get away with it. Shortly after Mr. Owner left the arena again, surmizing, "she sure is feeling her oats. but you're okay now right?"
The canters were okay, so the ride was pretty short. But she still sweated a lot, and was a pain in the cross ties til she finally was dry enough to turn out.
Jill thought it was a good thing she was advertising for youth horse trainers not riding students!
