Today, though was my day. She feels nice and > stable. Way to go Karen.
The way we started Tosca worked so well that the plan is to do the same thing with Yrsa. I did all the ground work. Then our fearless grandson Gabriel did the first few trips under saddle in the round pen. Then I rode her a few times and turned her over to Bev Hoogendyk to do the first rides out on trail. That went so well that I let her keep on riding her way longer than I meant to. Same thing - since I broke my back flying off Tali, I have a very real aversion to coming off and it inhibits some types of training. Nancy
