CeeCee My Pony :) And a quick question about her training

edited August 2012 in Pet & Animal Photos & Stories
First off she really isn't a pony she is actually huge! lol the second tallest horse in the barn.I have been riding a warmblood off and on for about two years now. I love her and apparently she loves me(According to the owner). Me and CeeCee have a unique bond. Before I started riding her she would never let people get her in the paddock she would canter away, it had gotten to the point the owner said it would take up to 45 minutes to get her. So the first time I went out to get her before I went the owner warned me about her running off. But to my surprise she let me halter her with no problems at all. So then we got inside and I groomed her up and then was told I had to lunge her. I had never lunged before so I needed my instructor(Also CeeCees owner) And she said that Ceecee was high energy and never seemed to just walk. This was true while her owner was lunging her, Ceecee would just ignore everything she said she just kept trotting until the owner cut her off into a small circle. Then I got handed the rope. It was like Ceecee had turned into a different horse she walked nicely for me and just all around listened well. Fast forward a few months Ceecee spooks and turns quickly so I fall off. As I lay there crying(it was one of my first falls lol I don't cry anymore) Ceecee came up and nuzzled me as though she was saying sorry. Ever since then I have loved that horse and I feel she loves me too. She will follow me without a lead rope not even stopping to think about going anywhere else but were I am going. I love her but she helped me become a better rider so my instructor has been having me ride a lot of other horses so I haven't had time for her. But good news(well sorta) all of the horses I have been riding are being sold or leased so I can't ride them leaving all the time in the world for CeeCee :) <br><br><br>Now for the question<br>She is fully trained but with her personality she can't show, I am not allowed to ride her bareback because she is not consistent some days she will be super calm and then other times she is cantering off without you asking at all. So I am not sure what to work on with her. I have been working on slowing down all her gaits because with her energy she tends to just plow through them, and I have also just today started to work on keeping her head lowered but she is pretty good at that. So what can I work on with her? I am fine just ridding her for fun but if there is something I can work on please let me know :)

    Very pretty horse :)<br><br>I won't ride my Warmblood cross bareback even though I trust him because they <span style="font-style:italic">are</span> horses and horses can spook at ridiculous things so I understand your pain haha<br>You can always work on showmanship ^.^ it's a great way to bond with your horse and be sure they are listening and behaving with you. It's also a safety exercise :)<br>I also LOVE the Parelli <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2098811_play-parelli-games-horse.html"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">7 Games To Play With Your Horse</a>. It's very useful and works WONDERS with high stung or nervous horses. It also helps you learn the body language of your horse as an individual and lets you discover their little quirks. <br><br>Let me know if you want any advice or anything when working with her. Sounds like she's a lot like my Knip xD
