Libby failed to emulate yesterday's antics - but she tried her best to!
I caught her and her pal to return her to the starvation paddock on the way to the yard ... she had a complete hissy fit after her pal had been dropped off, lots of stropping sighing backing up rearing. In the end I had to take her back the way we came on a massive round route to get her onto the yard
Tacked up and left the yard by turning right ... she stropped again and threatened to do her circus pony impression whilst I tried to keep her neck bent so she couldn't do it ... she ended up choosing the route and we went straight on instead - figured that forwards was better than upwards! Don't think sge had worked out she had inadvertently selected a longer hacking route haha
And for the rest of the hack she was perfect, a model pony citizen
Once we were back approaching the yard I thought what the heck I'll do ten mins in the school now she nicely warmed up. School was a left turn and yard would have been a right turn. Thought she'd have a complete meltdown and refuse to go but nope nothing no protest at all
In the school she worked really nicely she felt loose and free. We even did trotting poles - which for us is a big deal as Joosie knows having ridden her before
Back on the yard Libby has to have the last laugh by doing a huge wee that I then had to clean up!
All in all Libby nil Helen one I think!

These aren't ears I've seen for a long time. Second time in school in one year
