Nope, she's just a pleasure.. and we're going through a mild bout of 
"refusal" that the youngins will go through. Just got through it tonight.
 
I didn't even really want to ride by the time I got ready to.. I'd been 
helping someone else get over a problem for most of the day.. and when I 
did.. it was fairly cool and very damp.. and I expected a slightly high kid.. 
she wasn't and off we went to just poop around for a bit.. and end with a 
check ride in the arena to make sure we'd solved the problem we were having.
  
Will be back to going up to a lope shortly.. since the kids often start cross 
cueing from trot to lope when you start loping.

Well we'll get to it.. just had to re-affirm the known stuff that she started 
to cross cue on. In other words the waters got a bit muddy.. had to get them 
clear again.

> Hehehehehe ....... good idea!!
 
 
Nope. staying true to form. Got in her cold tonight in cool weather.. she was 
fine. :)
