Hi, update on Cheeky

Sorry I had no idea I hadn't put down what happened re Cheeky. Well it was a case of all going wrong at one time, but in a way, think it was a good thing. Had the lady come back out to see Cheeky, she was still a tad sore on her feets which didn't help and she was also a wee bit agitated being that she was in season and to top it all off the sudden flush of grass, so already felt like a bit of a disaster. However she still did a nice respectable workout for Kerry even if she wasn't competely happy with it.

However, after having behaved so well the first time the lady came out to see her she wasn't having a bar of the lady this time round. When Kerry told the lady to leave Cheeky's mouth alone and just soften Cheeky was a much happier girl, with having a very soft mouth and being very responsive you just don't want to be dragging on her mouth or see sawing . In the end the decision was easy, Cheeky wasn't having her, (mutual decision) she just wasn't the right rider for Cheeky. But the right person will come along, and they'll love her and she'll love them. I can't fault her and I fault everything, talk about being a perfect. If I didn't have to find the money for JimJim I wouldn't sell her, she's one of those horses that you just know you are going to have fun with. Well maybe by the time Christmas has been I won't have to, if I can talk Roly round to keeping her.

And might look at adding a western saddle to the list of things I need, I can see me doing barrel racing in the future, yee har!
