Well, I'd leave her saddled and tied a day or two before trying. It would at least accustom her to the saddle.

Heh... It's usually only been a thought, when I've been working with her and she's very good. She does everything else I ask of her. She trusts me... I think she'd do better for me than hiring someone else to do it.
Maybe sometime.... maybe not. If I did get on, I'd prolly just get on bareback. She's short... I can't get hurt too bad sliding off if she goes ape ;~D
