Well...Here it is. Our first official, fully saddled, and mounted ride! She's a perfect lady! Stood stock still while I mounted, and behaved absolutely beautifully...especially considering what she had to put up with! LOL!
It didn't take too long to find out that Willow has been trained more to the Eastern style than Western. She doesn't neck rein. She doesn't have the first clue about neck reining. She frankly, wonders what the heck I'm doing up there with the reins!
Yeah? Me too! I've never reined any other way, and she's never been reined any other way...so here we are! Quite the pair! It took a couple of minutes for me to catch on and try things her way... You have to admit...steering is an extremely important part of this equation! We got it together as the sun went down and achieved a nice little trot...
As the weather cools off, we'll have a really nice day when we can spend the whole day together and see if we can get out of the yard and go exploring some!
I came here looking for a new post but saw these excitin and pretty pics!!
