Believe. In the end, it's all we can do.

My week without Georgie.

This week i have to go without seeing my beautiful pony until Sunday because we are packing and moving house! Unfortunately this has left me to be doing the only thing imaginable for a insanley horse mad teenager, Day Dream.
It's not a good thing in grade 10 when all you can do is day dream about your beauitful pony when you are meant to be studying the 'Treaty of Versailles'.
At the moment the only thing thats getting me through is remembering how good she was on our trail ride last Saturday. We went with a lady and her horse as a guide and calming influence as it was their first trail ride. Georgie was perfect and amazing, just as i expected her to be. Even when the other horse (a 15hh Arab called Oscar) was spooking at things Georgie just stayed calm and plodded on. At one point there was a 'really scary concrete pipe that was going to kill poor Oscar'! So Georgie stepped up to be the brave pony and fight the pipe, she walked straight over it without even thinking, and it was her first time walking over it too!
When we got to the beach all Georgie wanted to do was charge into the water and splash about for a bit, i love it when she does this as not only do i get wet and have hysterical laughing urges but it shows me how brave and no fuss she is. Water jumps aren't going to be a problem for her!
We didn't stay at the beach for long though as it was bloody cold and windy so we started our ride home. The ride home was so relaxing, once we got off the beach and into the bush a bit it was quite nice, no wind and not cold! Once Lou and Oscar were feeling a bit more confident we had a trot up some hills and along the grass. After an hour we were home again, i was kissing my snuggly rugged up pony goodbye and saying, 'I'll bring you lots of treats next Sunday so please don't get mad that you won't see me all week Georgie!' And then i had to go. That was only 3 days ago and i am already having severe horse withdrawal! God knows how i'm going to last another 4 days!

The one thing after my Saturday ride that Georgie needs serious work on is standing still while i get on. Every time i had to get off for anything it would take a good few minutes before she'd stand still while i got on! And she does the same in the arena, but for not quite as long.
Any tips or advice on what i can do to stop her doing this?
