OK, I think the pony is trying to tell me something

[capall beag]

So, follow up on my 'devilish' pony!!

I was told she had been sat on a few times and led around the yard. Was also told she was coming 4 but looks more like coming 3.

I put the saddle on her and walked her around, NO reaction. I put my daughter on her, with caution, NO reaction. We have since had my daughter ride her around the yard a few times with the same result. I just went out and put the bit and bridle on her for the first time and she really had NO reaction, just like what is she doing now!!

I led her around with it and she was awesome.... is it always this easy to introduce stuff like this to a pony???

I put her back in with her friends and she is being very good!

She pins her ears back around her food but is MUCH less threatening.

She is awefully sweet when no food is involved, not mouthy at all.

I think she has TONS of potential, I know she does, and I should slow down and not have such high expectations of her.

I think I was expecting a perfectly behaved pony

: I, of all people should know I was being silly as I am FAR from perfect!!

I just wanted to share this with you because many of your replies were VERY helpful and made me slowdown and think, that is always a good idea to THINK!!

Thank you

I think Gypsy is listening, "I told her to be a good girl and to stop being naughty"

Funnily enough I thought of you when I caught my Yearling filly to give her her jabs and measure her!!

As I grabbed her nose and hauled her back when she tried to BITE (I do not mean nip!!! :bgrin ) me and i said very firmly, "No, that is not acceptable, stop doing it" I had firm hold of her and hung on until her eyes widened then let her go.

I thought, "Fiana needs to see this little Madame!!"

Heehee Rabbitfizz, little monkey!!

I really think this escalated when I seperated her from the gang, she became VERY bossy and would lunge at the fence towards them while waiting for her food, I think she thought I would be a fun target too

Honestly, she is a different pony now, much more mellow and I noticed them all sharing the same hay pile happily

One of my mini's bonded with her instantly when she arrived and they are best buddies! Well, once agian I have been humbled by one of my animals

I know they are thinking "C,mon now Mum would you just listen to what we are saying!!"

Oh, if only I was as smart as they are :lol: :lol: :lol:
