I took a new step in Otoelene's training today.
We saddled up Lady and ponied Otoelene.
I started in the ring going both directions and having her go on both sides.
She did so well that I took her out into the field that they are turned out in. We rode through the goats and cattle and up and down hill.
She did try a half hearted nip at my leg and at Lady's neck but overall she did great. Next time she will be ready for some new territory and maybe a water crossing. I'll have to compliment Lady also, very calm and smooth.

So nice to have a good steady saddle horse to pony the young ones!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such fun. What a gorgeous place you ride in!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good job the two ponies did!
ReplyDeleteI remember ponying my old geldings all the time. It was a good way to ride one and exercise the other.
ReplyDeleteGlad she did well.
