Today a friend Was grazing an old cranky tb mare too close to my mare who was in the cross ties . To make a long story short, old mare decides to turn her butt and and kick at my mare. My little mare, stands up on her hind feet , while in the cross ties, and strikes the air with her front feet, at the offending kicker, making a loud screeching noise to boot. Scared the crap out of the old cranky mare, and as she was exiting she almost ran over her handler. My fjord mare came down and quietly stood there, looking quite pleased with herself. Cranky mare was trembling for quite a few minutes after the exchange. My mare is normally very peaceful and easy going, but must have felt threatened enough to fight back. Seeing this made me realize how confident she is in herself. I went out and had a wonderful ride on the trails afterwards. Beautiful day to ride I the northwest, I had fun! I also found a great saddle pad, cotton waffle weave, keeps my mare cool, and seems to provide grip and stability for the saddle. Rosemary and Farra in Roy, we.
