Like lookit how cool he is when he has the arena to himself and the weather is good and he gets to just do his thing with no distractions. He just wants to nyoooom! He is very much a summer boy tho, the clocks go back and he immediately gets grouchy about it

It should be noted, this horse can work well without it being a drama all the time. I've had some fantastic rides with him, I took him on a XC hack in the summer and he was perfect. He just gets annoyed very easily, and he has to let everyone know about it

Like he was doing little rears and spins every 30 seconds, and my coach was just like yeah he picked the wrong person to try this with, he should know by now he can't scare you out of making him work.

I've had so many people ask if I lost confidence after my big fall. Turns out, not really

He was such a silly twat at the start of the lesson but we got some lovely work by the end. Mostly by letting him have his tantrum and then quietly praising him every time he stopped and did something sensible. He basically just needed to have a rant about how unfair it was before he could move on

I was sad coz I couldn't find any gifs of Zac in ASO but I found this instead 😂

Romeo yesterday: getting wound up because he's having to work in a group and everyone else is too annoying

Romeo today: throwing a tantrum because he's having to work on his own but he can see all his friends going out without him

He is me, we are the same

Right on

Teddy: *taking ages on his turn because he keeps getting upset about a jump looking different from normal and refusing to go near it*

Romeo: *getting more and more wound up because oh my god just get on with it so we can goooooooooo*

Yep, ads before/after is annoying but tolerable. Ads interrupting mid-movie can fuck off.

Yeah, I could accept ad breaks interrupting movies when it's on ITV/C4 etc. coz at least then you're getting it for free, when you're already paying that's bullshit. Second only to expensive live sports broadcasters that have ad breaks during the action
