E has decided to try to show Pep in Ride-A-Buck Classes. This is a bare back class where you try to keep a dollar bill under your leg while riding at different gaits.
She hasn't ridden bare back very much so she started off trying to lunge Pep first. E did more running around than Pep, so this didn't last long.
After a leg up she was off. Pep didn't think much of being ridden bare back. She did OK at the walk and trot but didn't want to canter. After much head tossing and some rearing E finally got her going.
She then practiced with a tissue (I didn't have any money with me). I think the tissue must have really stuck because it never moved. With a little more practice I think she'll be ready for the next show.
Sounds like she has a really good seat
