The reality of young horsesā¦.
Sunday morning I text my sis and said hey Iām going to the beach do you want to ride Sadie?! Of course she jumped at the chance after having such a fab ride on her around the track the weekend before.
As you have all seen on FB Sadie has been a darling to bring back into work, taking on any task asked of her.
Well on Sunday morning my sis hopped on off the ramp and moved aside so I could climb on my steed. Approximately 30 seconds after my bum hit my saddle my sisters butt hit the sandā¦.Sadie had bucked her off! š±š„“
Long story shortā¦I jumped on and kicked her around and my sis(Lisa) bravely jumped back on and rode her (gingerly ) up the beach (pic of ride )
Why am I writing this post? Because I think more people need to understand that this is the reality of a young horse. The process of educating a young horse doesnāt end after 6 weeks at the breakers guys, it takes timeā¦.months, years. So please realise if you own and plan to educate your young horse that there will be hurdles and there doesnāt need to be anybody to blame.
Those wondering about Sadieā¦.well she happily jumped all the logs down the beach today without a care in the world. Lisa ā¦.probably wouldnāt appreciate me sharing the bruise she got on her butt all over fb 𤣠but her humour is still intact
