Started January 17, 2003 |

|
 |
|
|
Day One: Checked her out to see what all was going to have to be done. She had been saddled before but no bit. She didn't lounge either, and worked on her flexing from the ground. We got all that done before calling it good for the day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Day Two: Refreshed her on the saddle, bitting, and flexing. Then we started on putting weight in the stirrup, then over her back and patting opposite side. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Day Two Continue: WHOOOO! made it on and nothings happend......yet! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Day Two Continued: Well, before she gets startled, lets try something she knows, flexing. She remembers and is giving to the bit easily. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Day Two Continued: She's doing great so lets see how well she moves out! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Day Two Continued: After about 45 minutes under saddle she starts to relax. And so do I (feet out of stirrups) |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Day Two Continued: I Figured she was doing well enough that if I walked along side, their daughter could ride. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Day Two Continued: At the rate this filly is coming, anyone should be able to ride her in only a couple more lessons. |
