I’m gonna do it myself....I think. I’ll have to wait for that moment of stepping into the stirrup for the first time to know for sure if I can do it.
I’ve got her lunging and backing up on voice command, we’re going for long walks in my scary forest with all the junk (old house and barns, phone booth, propane tanks, etc) and she’s going through it without a hitch. I introduced her to my neighbors steers, no problems. The only problem so far is walking her near my neighbors mare pasture where she has 5 or 6 mares pastured. They took off running and bucking, that freaked Mina out but she didn’t take off, just pranced around with her tail stuck up in the air.
Well heck, that’s pretty good. I think that would get Bay prancing around with his tail in the air too :~)
