Saddle

I saddled Mav today. He did super good. He was a little jumpy about things brushing up against him but he didn't buck once! He humped up a few times but NEVER left the ground and it was only like 3 times at the VERY beginning and he accepted it with ease and respect, as well as confidence. He has done a complete 180°.

Fallon on the other hand did a complete 180° the other way. She still refuses to lead properly and throws her weight around in the lead. She jerks her nose down and sideways to yank me off my feet when I am standing there with her, even when I'm not asking anything of her. I need to get through to her again!

I'll try to get pictures tonight of Mav and the saddle, he's sooo cute. I will get one with an english saddle because I have him pegged as an english horse. His strides and movement is just perfect for english. I think he'd be stifled in western. However, I believe firmly that Fallon will make a GREAT rope, or ranch horse. Possibly a good trail horse, or a super western show horse. I think she could do english pleasure/eq but doesn't have good movement for jumping or dressage.

Pics TONIGHT! I promise this time.
