Spring Fodder and White Pants

Sooooo, today's lesson was awesome! Just kidding, it didn't even happen.

Picture it: Alpha Mare's two favorite "sisters" became new boarders at HER (did you hear that?) HER barn yesterday and today was designated "I'm the boss and don't you forget it" day. Too bad no one informed me or I would have brought along some extra carrots to celebrate the special occasion.

When I arrived to the barn for my lesson (wearing my brand new Pikeur full seat leather breeches), I trotted out to get Summer from the pasture. Well, let's just say she had other ideas and/or plans for me. When I was finally able to halter her and get her out of the pasture, the "crazy mare, I'm in season, and I'm super PO'ed you'd take me away from my girls" horse put on her superwoman cape and ran me into the pasture boards knocking me down and dragging me across the grass (notice the pretty picture). When I finally decided to let go of her she galloped away and back to HER herd. Ok, so at least she returned to the scene of the crime, right?

Here's what happened next:

My amazing trainer arrived and put Summer through an impromptu "Moody Mare Boot Camp" session. Summer quickly found out who the real Alpha Mare was.

FYI It wasn't me.......yet, but I'm working on it!!
