....continued on over the main road. Yay, what a good boy he was. Calm and forward, inquisitive and interested. Jim came with us which I'm sure helped both of us, but i feel great about how he behaved. We were out about 40 minutes and I loved it. We did a little shoulder in past the leccy fence :-)
We then took Bonbon up to the school and I sat on for the first time in ages. Jim led her around on the right rein and she was fine, but then on the left rein she got a bit snaky and ears back started snapping at him. I felt pretty secure up there, her behaviour didn't seem to be aimed at me, but very strange behaviour, even for Bonbon who's certainly got her own ideas about the way things are supposed to be, so I got off. We checked the saddle which seemed to be fine, nothing under the pad that could have been irritating her. The flies were bad, but I don't think it was that. Jim walked her around without me on and she was fine, so I got back on and we tried again. She did settle and we left it on a good note. I did wonder if she was coming in season and this evening she was sniffing and squealing at Remy so I think perhaps that she is. Hehe, moody mares eh, poor little thing must have been feeling a bit bloated and weary. LOL We'll see how she is tomorrow.
