Pony Camp

My horse Sonny is one of the 6 horses being used for camp. Now Lisa (trainer) uses Sonny for lessons 4 or 5 times a week, has done for years now. Sonny knows that when Lisa has him out with other horses he has to listen to Lisa. Sonny also knows that when I am riding or have him he DOES NOT listen to Lisa as this makes mom mad! So picture the poor horse today! Lisa is running the lesson and mom is walking beside him babysitting the 6 year old on him. Who do I listen to? Lisa? Oh no, mom says to go here? Lisa is up front I need to go to Lisa, whoops that made mom mad! Oh my god what do I do? Poor horse was trying to have a nervous breakdown! LOL So the afternoon group, Lisa took over Sonny and I worked with the girl on the pony who told Lisa no! Sonny kept an ear on both of us (which when we were on opposite ends of the arena made for donkey ears) but decided that he was really to listen to Lisa!
