I took my 11 year old next door neighbour up to the stables to have a ride on Drummer yesterday, she is pony mad, has had a few lessons but doesn't get to go very often.

Drummer was very good with her although, soooooooooo cross. lol! Just look at his ears!?! He kept swishing his tail!

She wanted to trot but I had to run alongside, I think he would have just taken her home otherwise, lol! She wanted to go on her own but kids don't realise, hes not a riding school pony. She had ok control in walk and has quite a good seat (hard for her little legs in my treelss!) She had rein issues but at least in the bitless she couldn't jab him in the mouth! Her balance was a bit out in rising trot although she sat like glue!

I wouldn't call those 'cross' ears... I'd call them 'concentrating' ears :rolleyes:

Concentrating on how much she was bouncing in trot, lol! :D

Look at the ears here the, this was on the same day!

Hmm, yes I would say that he does look a bit cross there :rolleyes:

He looks gorgeous in all his winter fur.

The lucky girl for getting to ride on your lovely pony. I would have absolutely jumped at the chance at her age (and still would now if I was lighter!).

What a good boy Drummer is! Even if he looks a little bit grumpy :p

Kyanya: I was feeling pretty pleased with myself, lol! I totaly agree with you, as a kid I would have died for a ride! :p I kind of regreted it afterwards though, he was terrible when I got on him! I bet you aren't too heavy. If you are ever in this neck of the woods, you are welcome to come and visit!

I'm glad you all like my hairy pony, he is malting like mad and his coat has lost its coarseness and gone all fluffy! Won't be hairy for much longer!! :cool:
