Thank you! I totally thought she was going to need lots of training but the pro trainer I hired to eval her said she's safe enough to put kids on and that she was clearly incredibly well trained and loves to please. When I got on her, she listened to everything I told her and responded to cues so well.
Whoa!
Right?? Was not expecting it tbh. I'm hoping to ride her like once a week to start off and eventually work up to two days. I won't ride her unless someone else is there for the time being. Safety first and all that.
I also told the farm hands they can take her out on trail rides if they want. She needs worked with in different ways and conditioned to get more muscle. I wanna take her on trail eventually too, so better riders than me taking her out would be good practice for her. She'd also get used to different saddles which is good training too
Yes, "Whoa!" was probably one of those cues
It was!
Yay!!! 🤗
