they sell the 115 in canada but every search i do the 110 model comes up
I was interested in the Parelli/nervous pony question, so here is a follow up. I have an open lease at a hunter jumper barn. This summer I was riding a 13.2 pony, w/t/c. I found her fairly sensible. I trusted her enough to ride bareback and taker her on the trail with a friend. She was slightly jumpy, but nothing you couldn't deal with (one spook on the trail when a bird flew out from a bush). This winter, she has steadily gotten jumpier. On a windy day she is a basket case. Last week I roder her w/t, but she was so nervous I got off and walked her around the ring to show her things, then got back on, and she was OK. This week it was so muddy I rode her indoors, and she was a MESS. There was a tractor running outside, she was trembling so much I got off b/c I was afraid she was going to jump into the rafters. I walked her around and then got back on, but only walked. I just didn't trust her not to take off.
So, this is the same pony I was riding this summer bareback. I am not the only one who rides her, she gets ridden a lot in lessons, and they took her to a show in the fall. (I don't show). She is clipped, and wears a blanket. She lives out 24/7. We live in VA, so cold is like 28 to 32 degress.
I am just curious here. Do you think she just hates winter? Is she cold because she's clipped? I don't think anyone would have abused her, it's a fairly sensible barn that I ride at. And I don't know weather to take a firm, get over it approach with her (I really do think she'd lose it if I got too firm), or a hey relax, there's nothing to be scared of approach. I can ride other horses, but I am just curious as to what is going on here.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks, so far. I am not all that nervous riding her, but I am a mom, so I'm going to try to make sure I don't break a leg :). Last time I rode her I concentrated on my breathing and relaxing so she'd know I was not worried. I do think I should check vision/pain, but I'm leaning toward she just doesn't like being cold …
Oh, and one of the trainers rode her the other day and she was being a pain for her, too. It is definititely a generalized thing.
