Went on a trail ride with the green pony today. She has been at this facility for about 2 months now, and this was her first trail. I could tell she was pretty happy heading out (I went with my trainer and a friend, both were mounted), but the further along we got on the trail, I could feel her getting more and more anxious. As we reached the end and were turning around, she threw a fit and started spinning and rearing and bucking. I tried to turn her straight and walk her on, but she wasn’t having any of it! In the end, my trainer was on a very calm horse, and halfway back he had to pony her to try and calm her down. Only by the end did we have one more spook, but then we went in the arena for a bit and she was perfectly fine. We cantered a bit (we had trotted on the trail), and then jumped a couple fences, then cooled off and walked in. She needs more work on staying calm in unfamiliar places and situations, but otherwise she is coming along very nicely.
