Happy Ending

Posted by Kylie & Gem on Apr 26, 2010 • (0)

Gem threw her little frothy as you know at a show 2 weeks ago..she just got herself over excited..just wasn’t settled..and Kylie said she wasn’t listening to her at all so we didn’t jump and took her home.   I sneakily put a scoop of calm mix in the morning feed the next time she rode…didn’t tell Kylie..she came out of her lesson saying ..”Gem was so good..what a great lesson” and praised the teacher (I didn’t say a word!) Next day..same thing..one scoop in the morning..Kylie came out of the arena after working gem alone this time…and again ..she commented on how well behaved Gem was.   I couldn’t contain myself..so told her what I’d done..she looked at me sideways at first…yeah right she thought..still doubtful!   Then on Sunday..she jumped a metre high..she said Gem sailed over it ..was super calm ..and announced she (Kylie that is) is back into doing high jumps..she’s had Gem two years and although Kylie used to jump over a metre in shows she’s NEVER jumped Gem that high, although we know she’ve very capable..as is Kylie.    Darn ..should have got her on that stuff sooner eh! Thanks!

A very calm GemOne metre - no problem!
