Quirky Bridget

I almost never put Bridget in the round pen, but with the arena being resurfaced it's been the easiest way to get her moving on the days I would normally longe her.

I've noticed something weird.



Somebody's watching me

Since she stares me down and then gets confused if I ask her to keep moving, I'm wondering if at some point in her distant past someone did the whole NH game where you reward and release pressure when they look at you?


With Bridget's work ethic, once or twice of that would have been enough, lol. Anyway, for whatever reason, this pony is big on eye contact in the round pen :)

  3. Maybe she's a pro who knows to look at the camera.
