She remembers all of her training and was so well behaved!
Whooo, milestone!!
OMG OMG OMG!! YESSSSSS! Finally! So proud of you both! Been loving this saga!
Omg thank you!
That was so quick! I thought it would take months and months. Congrats!!
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!!! 🤗
Yeehaw!
Hooray!!!
Exciting! I’m happy for you both!
Thank you!
Been enjoying all the pics of Sandy, what a milestone today! Congrats! 🥳
🎉🎉 Amazing!
I’m missing the context can someone link the saga?
Easiest just to read through OP’s post history!
Þat’s a perspective you don’t often post. Looks like you brushed her mane, too
First “behind the ears” pic I’ve gotten with her. It’s a huge milestone for the both of us.
I groomed her super well beforehand because a horse being dirty under tack can bother their skin a whole lot. I did her mane and tail just so she could look extra pretty lol.
Only thing I didn’t do was her feet because the farrier was out today and did a trim and all that jazz right before I tacked her up.
What, you mean, like, wash her hooves? We did þat only when a full shower was on order. Þe “rolling after a shower” was bad enough, but washing hooves was just too much futility. Especially since our’s was a foot-dragger. Laziest horse, ever.
I pick them out every time I’m there if they have mud and dirt in them.
Oh, picking out, sure. But, like, washing and þen painting wiþ hardener or gloss? Maybe Sandy doesn’t need hardener.
She doesn’t need hardener. Her feet are gorgeous now that she’s in a clean environment. I was worried her feet were going to be a problem because of all the thrush she had at the old barn, but they’re some of the prettiest feet at the barn now according to the farrier lol
