a spare head for a dapple grey cob or some brains would do ;)
Decided to take Rhi out for a drive just around the block and it ended up a walk around the block with someone at her head all the time :o
We set off well , she looked at the bridge funny and as we came out the other side so too a couple of lads which gave her a bit of a spook (fair enough), then she was a little wary of the bus stops and drains (another fair enough), then she got a fright at something and shot off in canter across the road. I was quick on the ball and pulled her round as she was cantering so manage to keep control. Thought she would settle but she got her herself upset again so asked my groom to walk with her as we were coming up to some road works. She was fine but could hear a motor bike so was all attentive to the bike. Tried again to get my groom on the cart and once again she spooked into a little canter. Decided it was not worth the risk (she was obviously upset with or at something) so groom walked with her whilst I stayed on the cart and then we swapped over. So long as someone was with her she was fine but leave her and she got herself upset. By the time we got home she was nodding her head (it did stop for a while) again but was not sweaty so obviously not too distresed.
This is not like her at all :(
