Andy is not pleased
Poor sweet Andy. Today, during my lesson with my dressage trainer she wanted to work on long lining with Andy, which I have never done before. He was not at all pleased! I generally don't use a lot of lunging, ground driving, or long lining working with him, not that I have issues with it. Of course, I think some people over lunge, and I'd much rather have a horse I can hope on and ride and not have to lunge for 30 minutes before because they're so bat shit nutty. But I know that these things can have a purpose, and I could definitely see how long lining helped get Andy into frame. By the time he understood what was being asked his trot looked so good, and his canter looked great. To me, anyways. Of course, I know him so well that I could tell he didn't like it. He just had this ticked look on his face, and made very excuse to stop. And then he even bucked twice on the line! The second time he threw enough of a hissy fit to rip both lines out of my trainer's hands, and then run around like a darned fool because they were chasing him. But then he did the cutest thing ever. As he was galloping around the arena, all spooked, he ran in my direction. I got in his line of sight and said "Come here you big goofball." He stopped right in front of me, shaking with fear and gave me the most pitiful look. Aww, he loves me. So I fixed the lines, handed him back to Sara and he gave this look like "WTF? I thought I got out of this!" Silly pony.
