They have had two rides and they have the best little positions, they can turn, stop, mount (from a mounting block), get their stirrups back when their foot drops, and pull his head up when he thinks about eating; all without being on a lead. It helps that blondie is happy to plod around the paddock and follow the leader.
Today both girls managed some little trots on the lead and holding onto the saddle. Every ride they have to help groom and tack up. Mum and i are just amazed at how well they're doing and how sure of themselves they are. Already they boss each other and mum around, telling how it should be done and taking charge at every opportunity!
Here are some pics of today. (sorry about the poor quality they were taken on my cell phone.
