Today's arena ride went okay. I don't know why I never noticed before but Ruby's pissy-mare-face only appears when she's asked to trot, and not when she asks to trot (duh!). Trotting was better for her today because I was two-pointing instead of trying to post her all-over-the-place trot. We did a lot of circles and giving to leg pressure at the walk, and when I finally got a nice, around the arena trot without pissy-face and tail-swishing, we called it a day. She's usually a good sport about things, so I think her angst about trotting will go away as she gets more comfortable, but only time will tell. At least there is no crow-hopping or other tom-foolery going on.
