Ummm

Aparently the owners of the filly are mad at me because of my 'behavour' the other night when they insisted that I come out to the farm.

After having there yearling run away with me, because they dont know how to 'fix' her. (shes not bad but they are allowing bad habbits. Every time we went around she stoped at the gate. ) Now considering that they told me they never stop her at the gate, I found that behavour suspecious but not horible. By the end of 10 min she went by just fine. She isnt getting her lead in the hind going to the right but the owners though it was because of her front leg?? Anyways as it was getting dark I finished and was just going to brush the 2yo however I was told they were having major issues.

So I brought her out, now its only been a month since the expo, and she was rusty there but respected me, my space, and the chain. (she knows not to pull because it hurts both of us) So I brought her out, and she promptly ran off with me. Now I was not upset with the taking off, she knows better, but it was dark and the dogs were running around. However she continued fighting, pulling and running even after repeted attempts to get her to trot. (she is allowed to do an extended trot to blow off steam, but needs to respect the space, and the chain) even with me putting all my force on the chain she continued to run off. I got her to go better but it was not good.

So now Im in pain, shes in pain and the owners like 'yeah thats what she does to us'. Now even with a 7 months off she wasnt that bad. Shes gone that downhill in about 3 weeks. Yeah I was mad. They said she wasnt listening to them, but they watched me lunge her all last summer the kids can lunge her, how the hell did she get that bad?
