Yay Riding Time!

Firstly, i wish to apologise for the lack of pictures today - as the camera has run out of battery!

Well i lunged her again with the side reins on today, she went even better then my previous day lunging her and went much much more consistent and really accepted the contact well today, she was following through from behind and tracking up very well. After lunging her for about 8 Min's each side i decided i would lean over and see how she responded, she took it all like an old hand so i hoped on board. I couldn't believe the difference in size she felt from when i last sat on her last year. I had much more neck in front of me, and she was much wider. Before i proceded to walk on, i flexed her both left then right and gave her a scratch on her face to show her that "mum" was on board. Then we were off..She was very good walked halted etc on both reins, so i popped her into a trot and she was such a good girl, she was very balanced for a green horse and after a few transitions and serpentine's i decided to finish it on a good note.

Tomorrow i hope to ride her again, and get mum to hopefully take some pictures. I'm very pleased with how she is accepting everything once again, and her change of attitude towards being ridden after her break.
