[RC] Fit horses/ponies - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I'm not sure if it's the weather (50's for the most part when we ride) or the 
fact that for the last few months we've been more focused on dressage work in 
the arena, or if it's because she's really, really fit.  The last 2 times I 
took her out for a short (hour or so) hack in the woods she was very forward, 
and somewhat ill-behaved, wanting to be in front, rushing up the creek beds, 
and basically acting as if she had never been trail ridden before.  I'm trying 
to get her out of the arena at least once a week but since I am scared to ride 
alone I'm stuck only going when I can find someone to ride with.  This also 
might be related to the fact that I recently got another horse and alternate 
days riding them (MWF for one, TTHS for the other).  She acts as if she's 
pissed off about it whenever I do anything at all with him.
