Doesn't Otoelene look good with a saddle? I've had it on her a couple of times and she has done perfect.
Usually I lunge her first, then saddle, then lunge some more.
Today I decided to just skip the first step and saddled her right after I finished brushing while she was still tied.
Once again, no problems. She is so accepting of everything. I lost her attention a couple of times when the wind was really howling but got it right back with her continuing to stay calm. I even put my foot in the stirrups on both sides and put some weight in them. I've been riding her bareback some with just a halter at the walk. So far so good.
I'm sure training a horse can be tedious work. Glad she's doing well! As for chickens...I'd never let them out over summer. I've seen too much of their destructive behaviors! :) But if you have a fenced in area for most of the year, they're really quite fun to have around...and the eggs are delcious!
