I have not seen it yet! Can you link it here?

I did jump on for a bit on my drive home! 

Yes! She’s moving off much quieter when it’s time to work. I start pretty much every session with the flag before doing any lead line work- she used to bolt and now she’ll walk off it quietly. Her biggest thing now is getting real worked up when being tied up or by herself. I’ve tried moving her feet, she’ll be drenched in sweat and still trying to dig for oil. Not quite sure how to work on that now, she doesn’t pull back, she just moves sideways a ton. If she’s in a stall she gets to pawing at the door if I’m working another horse. Everyday is like a new onion layer to peel back!

Just getting her to calm down and get her thinking. Which, she is coming around. She’s had some really good sessions the last few days. The rescue sent her to me in the hopes of getting her started under saddle to increase her chances at adoption. They do a big trainers challenge and horse show every August for their rescues. Then they hold an auction at the end of it for people to adopt the horses. So you know, no pressure on me at all. 😂

Calib McCollister boy you can say that again. Luckily they have “no expectations” but daggum. I’d hate to have to tell them she’s likely not adoption material and they’re stuck with her. I think I’d rather strap a bottle rocket to a tigers tail. 

I’m getting used to them slowly but surely! This horse has since gone home, so of course now I feel off everytime I throw it in another horse. It didn’t help that my hips were way out of alignment- regular trips to the chiropractor for me for awhile! 

Ride 2 in the books 

Thank you! It felt more comfortable for sure- but I was driving myself crazy all afternoon second guessing my lengths. 

I can send you one the next time I ride- I’ve been riding her in a side pull- she did just have her teeth floated today  so will see if that helps with the bit. She would just refuse to take it. Didn’t like her mouth touched.  She did it again today with the side pull. She worked great on the ground- I put a sweat on her- When I got on she walked a few circles and then pinned her ears and kicked out. She’s only done this the last few rides. I haven’t really pushed her too hard- we’ve trotted some- and she had been really good with keeping her pace. I’ve got some other videos but none of her kicking out on me.
