Yup yup yup! Since Tucker is 3 months old now:jawdrop: I decided it is time to start Pearl back in training......sorry no pics though. We came to the outside of the fence and started from the beginning......saddle.....she seen the saddle and the eye immediately widened.....I think the previous owners messed her up. Well she took the saddle but kinda pranced around when trying to put it on her but she took it well........she had a little bow in the back but not darting, dashing, bucking, or anything......just kinda like "okay...don't like it but will put up with it" Walked her around but to where she was still in sight of Tucker.....did all the wiggling of the saddle flapping the stirrups, and all that stuff she just stood there but was uncomfy about it..... just kept walking her till she settled down. Then I put weight on the stirrup with my hand she stiffened back up.....walk walk walk.....then I did it again.....nothing....then I just put my foot in the stirrup and she accepted it but I didn't get on cause I am the only one here I just applied pressure and she lowered her head as acceptance and so we ended day one! I am sooooo HAPPY!!!!!!!!!:D:clap::clap::clap:
I am just glad she didn't act like she did first time I put the saddle on her......that time she reared up as soon as I set it on her and dumped the saddle! But this time no prob.....
