Having spent the last 6 years riding just my horse, I found riding the pony on holiday strange and I just didn't feel comfortable.. he was shaking/nodding his head like mad because of the flies (know this because it stopped when we moved away from bushes and trees).. when we got on the beach he got excited and threw a massive buck in when we went into canter, and I lost my stirrup straight away.. How I stayed on, I just don't know, and eventually managed to find the stirrup.
By that time the canter had turned into a gallop, and it felt like we were racing the other ponies down the beach. There were no incidents after that, but it left me thinking, about how much I'd pushed myself outside my comfort zone, and wish I was riding my own horse.
I never expected to feel like that:unsure:
Anyone else feel like that when riding other horses?
