Well I have to fess up. Dancer had a bit of an accident a few weeks ago. Bear the dog started barking and the goats fled the scene sending Dancer bucking while cantering. I could not believe my eyes when he landed the buck on his front quarters, but his hind quarters slid out from under him.
I thought he was going to have a serious injury. Well Dancer was fine. I wasn't. I have had trouble asking him to canter for fear of a repeat performance.
Today my sister Joan came out and sorted us out. She had Dancer cantering both directions, even galloping. Bear reacted, luckily the goats were not on the scene and Dancer only tried a few bucks. He loved the gallop so much that I had no trouble asking for a trot when riding. Instead of the sluggish trot he had been trying with me he was much more enthusiastic.
What a great time I had with Joan. We will have to do this again next week.
