The human has got all ambitious. Now ambition is not necessarily a bad thing, but this "ambition" includes yours truly. And yours truly would rather not if its all the same with you. To make things even worse, its the dreaded D word that even the human finds it hard to say since I scored a 3 for my left canter (should have got at least an 8 for the associated buck) at the last outing.
For some reason the human arrived yesterday brandishing a green bit of paper with lots of instructions on it. This worried me. The previous bits of paper were blue and only had half as much writing on. I was wondering how the human was going to remember all the blurb when she tucked it into her pocket and tacked me up. As usual we went down the road but then took an unexpected detour into the field that me and the lads call "Aintree" for reasons which will become obvious in a sec. The human then proceeded to whip out said green bit of paper and mutter strange incantations such as lengthened canter strides and give and retake reins over x. After a few minutes it became apparent that I was to carry out these instructions in a proper dressage pony type fashion.
*SMIRK*
Put it this way, dressage now includes JUMPIES!!! It was the give and retake the reins that did it. Or rather, the give and DROP the reins. We were out of the field, over the hedge and home before the human even got to the second side of writing.
To top it all, the human said to her friends that she would try again when I was feeling a bit less "fresh" but neglected to notice that the green piece of paper was rapidly disappearing down a hungry goat. 'Nuff said....
