It's actually quite good to have a school horse with a mind of its own - gives one a bit of a challenge, and if she does as she's told, then you know you're doing it right! We must have a canter comp - see who gets to do it first! Think itll be you - I'm still only walking with Hogan, dying to do more, but with him it's definitely baby steps. Also, I'm not as young as I was when I was riding my old boy - I don't bounce anymore! It is indeed good to have somewhere to babble on about our passion in life - my husband glazes over when I start.
