Having decided not to risk riding the bucking Rogan on the roads, I had a break from riding for 3 weeks. Sadly it now looks as if I will have to have another 3 week break as I have developed scitica which makes it impossible to ride.
However, yesterday I had my last short ride on "my" new pony.
Bertie is a Norwegian Fjord and as a previous owner of a nightmare Fjord, Thor, I was quite spooked about riding him.
Thor use to just set off home whenever he felt like it. He was one scarey pony and also a very scared pony, which then makes him very dangerous.
Bertie couldn't be more different. He was reluctant to leave his mares the first time I took him out of the field but now leads like he's known me all his life. He is forward and willing, although not at all schooled, he stops when asked and goes when asked.
And isn't he soooo pretty?
