I just wish it wouldn't keep me from riding! It has been raining & every thing is pretty wet. A few weekends ago we took Bella to Polocrosse. I was going to ride her around while Nina played polox with Blondie & if Bella did okay, I thought I might join in. Well.... things didn't go quite as planned. They seldom do with Bella. :)
Bella was fine until I put the saddle on her then she went all wiggy. I was trepidatiously of getting on her while she was acting like that, so Patrick hopped on, no stirrups, no helmet. Bella tossed her head that way & her bottom the other way. Patrick had to swat her several time, vigorously until she calmed down, then he was ready to give her back to me --- no way Jose! Take her to Nina I said & Patrick did.
Well low & behold Nina, not knowing how poorly Bella had just behaved, hopped on her & they played polox like no big deal! I just don't get whats up with that horse.
I have to say, however, the last few times I have tried to get on Bella, since Patrick corrected her, she has been an angel! She hasn't tried to bite me, or walk off, or anything! I was shocked. At first I thought Bella wasn't feeling well. ha!
Last night even though it was kinda wet & icky, Nina hopped on Bella bareback. Bella was awesome! Nina did some walk, trot, canter with her just enough to say someone got on & worked with her. It is my opinion Bella is one of those horses that needs to be worked each & every day to keep her in check. We are going to try that & see what happens!
