Hacked tonight, in company, with Lorna. Flow started trying to go up before we go out of the gates. Stayed calm and just sat and clicked and kept turning her back the way she had spun and we managed to stand, do the key combination and get out of the gates.
She was ok, but got angry every time I asked her to stand. We both got more and more stressed and she started rearing again - she would shuffle sideways to a verge or back up to a verge. I lost my temper. I didn't DO anything, just felt really disappointed in her. It is complete tantrum and she is clever and measured in what she does.
:hail: to Lorna and SuperHarv who were fab companions. Just disappointed in how I rode and that I didn't manage to stay calm and don't know how to effectively move forwards, it was exhausting. I bought a horse that didn't rear, and now it does. It hacked perfectly when I got it. Sigh. Fran, fancy a hacking lesson?! In good news, schooling is definitely coming on.
