Make yp your mind
Junior Trainer was by the working in arena watching the other competitors warming up for the “BD walk halt test” (restricted section rising permitted) , he was watching in particularly lady suckly on one of her £500k specially designed dressage horses , a beautiful black Hanoverian stallion. It was at moments like this that Junior Trainer had small pangs of jealousy on the unfairness of life as much as he loved Bluey the cob and appreciated his excellent attributes for the “BD walk halt test “ it would be nice once in a while to entre a competition with out spectators assuming that he was the half time entertainment number.
It was clear for every one around the arena that lady Suckly’s warming up was not going according to plan, well not according to her plan and horses don't really plan , after every failed attempt to execute a movement lady Suckly could be heard muttering from one end of the arena to the other “you USELESS ungrateful donkey I am going to GIVE YOU AWAY to the first person that will TAKE YOU ” .How ever from time to time a movement would be categorised as less failed then the previous one and an enthusiastic voice would be heard “GOOD BOY”, but for the next one it would be again “you USELESS ungrateful donkey I am going to GIVE YOU AWAY to the first person that will TAKE YOU “.
This verbal interchanges went on for a long duration of the working in until Junior Trainer suddenly jumped into the middle of the arena shouted towards lady Suckly “for gods sake WOMAN make up your mind I should have got on my horse half an hour ago”
