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
But sliding off if she goes ape is just teaching her to go ape. If she would go ape, given her history, I don't think she should be punished at all, BUT:), getting off is rewarding the behavior. I'd make sure to the best I could that I would come off, then hang on. She'll stop eventually, then pat her make her go just maybe 5 minutes or so then get off. She'll catch on that's all you want her to do.
Sorry don't mean to preach or act like a know it all, just talking. No horses to ride today, nothing to do:)
