Today was one of those rides when I kept bumping into people I know. Clearly I stop and talk too much because by the fourth time someone said hello Luka stopped and put himself into planted mode expecting not to move for a while .
Don't you find people you don't know say hello to the horse first.@newforest the polite waiting didn't extend to anything else just chatting. Maybe he thinks they're admiring him rather than talking to me
Same! Hogan will stop if someone says hello, but in fairness, if I'm on the ball I can keep him going. It pleases me that he does stop though - for the longest time he would act up if I stopped to chat - swinging his bum towards people or pawing the ground, so the willingness to stop is a mixed blessing! He also rather enjoys any petting now, where it used to make me nervous, as he used to throw his head about, so I asked people not to - for their own safety!Today was one of those rides when I kept bumping into people I know.
