I have another ace gate opener in the making!

Linda is visiting at the mo and we've been out for a couple of lovely hacks. Today it is blowing a gale and Cherry was a complete pain bringing in from the field - she took umbridge at having to leave her 'herd' and was rearing and spinning, little madam! Then had a strop on the yard and wouldn't stand still for mounting, I did I wonder if she would behave herself as I didn't want her to start Saturn off - but once I had finally got on board she was her usual self (forward going and kind of listening ).

We went around the local bridle path which has lots of gates, I thought I would attempt a few and she was sooooooo good! ;D

Oh well done Cherry! I think they like the challenge of things like learning to open gates.

Aww, what a clever girl I still can't get over how good she was when she came here. I hope Midnight is as good next year when he is four.

Good on you for dragging her out, kicking and screaming Hmmm....reminds me of some mornings when my mum had to drag me from bed to go to school LOL

I'm so glad she's had such a fun time afterall, and what a good girl she is for those gates!!!

She really was a star! She did have it on her a bit to start with but it was very apparent that she was listening to Gill even though she was in a bit of dither about things. Looking at her muscular bum and thighs from the back made me realise just how grateful Gill should be that she does flippin' listen! LOL!

Aw she sounds great! looks like a lovely ride but what a lot of gates! Bobs was only ever good at opening them on the way home lol.
