She was OK during the winter when the neighbours' cows were in barns but she has a head fit now that they're out in the fields. And, of course, they're naturally curious of what this bouncing, prancing ginger nutcase is outside their field and come trotting over to have a look. Cue threats to chuck herself in the ditch and/or leap in the air. LOL I've had worse though - she's not been trying to get me off and it's safer to be on her when she starts than it is to be leading her. Ideally, I need another very steady horse to accompany us when we hack out. There's a new Haras/Ferme Equestre just opened the other side of the village so I might be able to persuade them to come over to us and for us to hack out with them for part of the way (for a price, of course). We even debated getting a cow last year but to be honest, I think her phobia's bad enough that she would just be traumatised if I put a cow in the field next to her. And then she'd probably do herself a mischief. But the good thing was that we found this other little path a few weeks ago, which means I can access the lanes on the other side of the valley without passing the various neighbours' cows. <BR/><BR/>And yes, I was delighted that she withstood such an energetic hack!Lulu's friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016180245818415161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30554206.post-34857422015293270132008-05-07T13:35:00.000+02:002008-05-07T13:35:00.000+02:00Oh boy, I don't "do" horses crouching right down t...Oh boy, I don't "do" horses crouching right down threatening to leap into the air!!! Glad it wasn't me coping with her, then.<BR/><BR/>I did have a pony who resolutely didn't "do" pigs... until she went to livery on a pig farm that also did a couple of ponies at grass.<BR/><BR/>This thing with Lutine and cows is for real, eh?<BR/><BR/>Fair do's, I'm just so thrilled she was up to such a long hack!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262417231694342673noreply@blogger.com
