Bad Boy Eeyore

At  Cowboy Camp I was helping put fly spray (sugar water)  on Eeyore cause he was covered in flies and fly bites in the morning of the second day.  I was putting him back in the pasture, but once we were in the pasture and his lead taken off he backed up to were just his head was in the pasture. the only control over him I had was his neck. I couldn't get him forwards into the pasture so we sat there a while while I pulled to get him in.
After a while he started to turn around so I pulled even harder but he just started walking away and if i let go of his neck he would have been free. I called to my friend Anslie to came and hold him so I could put on his lead. But she kept on trying to send one of the campers over to help but all of them were at least  eight or under and couldn't hold a horse still so eventually she came over and had to restrain him so i could put his lead on. 
I led him  farther into the pasture this time then ran to the gate to shut it. When i was leading him back to the pasture i realized that the gate was open and was so scared a horse would escape again but luckily all the horses were out farther in the pasture. 

 I also got to ride him BAREBACK  up the hill! My friend Anslie also got to. When I was leading Eeyore for her to ride he stepped on the rim of my shoe, not my shoe. it was scary.
