Am I the only one?

Postby Rosie B » Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:23 pm

Who uses their dressage whip to delicately brush flies off their horse's neck and ears while riding?? lol

It's been a little warm and humid here recently which has resulted in swarms of mosquitos. Unfortunately I ride near dusk, so they can be horrific while riding. When we're walking on a loose rein, I often use the tip of my whip to brush mosquitos off Bliss's ears and neck. He seems to appreciate the attention and service. :lol:

Anyone else do this?

I find nothing odd about that.
