So today I was asked to ride "Leisee". Holy crap... totally beautiful mover, great hock action, pretty cadence, a great package. Well, I think she would be a great package if she wern't a mare and wern't a total and utter bitch of a horse.
She' s seven, but started late. I would say today she tried to get me off, and she almost succeeded! I would ask her to trot forward and as she came to the open portion of the circle I was in she would crowhop and canter and then try to dart quickly in the opposite direction. Oh, and in doing this... bucking and running and diving. GREAT.
I think tomorrow before i head out there I'm going to take a few painkillers, really stretch, and TURN HER OUT and chase the hell out of her for like 20 mins in the ring so hopefully she's not so insane.
oh. And I did have to give up. I hate giving up and handing off a horse, but she was actually pissing me off and I was going to react with anger. At least she also tried to kill Suzette and she said that she's never ever seen her act this bad. What a lucky day for me.
Her mantra is: Outside reign, inside leg... and a lot of FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
