Good morning.
I think she ties her horse because he is very figity when she tries to get on. The horse is very tall, she is pretty short. Once she is on she leans over his neck, reaches down to unclip him.
After the wreck she got on him without him being tied, so maybe now she will do that all the time.
Tina rode alot as a kid. She rides pretty good. The problem is she rode a very well broke horse. She bought Oreo as a weanling thinking because she did well as a kid she was qualified to train one. IMO, there is a big difference to riding well on a broke one and knowing how to train one. She doesn't realize that tho, and I've seen her do several things that are not good to be doing. It's hard to tell her too, since she truly believes she knows what she is doing, I've tried and her response is well it's working so it must be OK, and then continues on doing things her own way. Her mounting while he was tied "was" working for her.

Exactly, Big, Big difference. My daughter and I have rode all our lives, and still we took Jody to the trainers. We can get them used to the saddle, and she did get on Jody, but when it comes down to the actual training, we let the pros do that.
I bet you were in shock when that horse did that. I know, I would have panicked for sure. I am in shock she mounted with a horse being tied.
Good morning all.
Okay, another thing to add to the benchmark of when mares will foal. Waxing up apparently doesn't mean anything this year. BamBam is still pregnant, still waxed up, and has been since Monday.
