Well Twts has been here for 3 weeks (i think!) ;D.
And she is now settled in fine, her and jane are the best of buddies which makes twts think she can do no wrong as jane will save her haha.
After her being overly nosy these past few days and trying to eat my saddle i decided today she'd get it on. Which she let me do know bother at all, did up the girth. No problems. Put a bridle over her head (with no bit at first) and then put a bit in, no problems Then walked her around for a while and she was fine, then all of a sudden she started doing massive bucks and broncing lol. Took off her bridle and asked her to lunge, she walked around me (sort of half a circle) and started to bronc again and then kept coming in and throwing her head around (like she does when shes cross vanessa,lol) Managed to get her walking around me better and then all of a sudden she made a bee line for the jump near-ish us managed to get her away from it as it wasnt exactly small (2ft 6.lol). Ended on a good note, tried un tacking her and she started head butting me and trying to eat me lol. Decided to lead her over a jump (little one though!) and she jumped it as if it was at hickstead . Gave her lots of pats after that and let her go. Never seen a pony gallop that fast in my life She stayed still for ages and all off a sudden off she went !! lol Tomorrow if its warm she will have her tail washed (has she been bathed before? lol) and will try yo see what she makes of rugs lol.
Never tacked up an unbroken pony that easy before! Helen are you sure she hasnt had tack on ;D lol
