Floss doesn’t want to be ridden today. She turns away from me as I approach. A snubbing. I put my hand on her side and walk towards her head. She follows her nose and walks away from me, trots a few steps to put distance between us. ‘Come on Flossie,’ I say. ‘Let’s go out together.’ She stands resolute with her bum towards me. ‘Floss,’ I say. She peers over her shoulder at me, sighs, then stands still as I approach. I put the lead rope around her neck and slip her halter on. We walk from the paddock together.
Come on Floss
