Zoey and I had a big day today...work on the driving lines and (drumroll please!) I sat on her for the first time. I have started quite a few babies but sitting on my own that I helped foal out was the best feeling in the world. She was fantastic; she felt really steady and was completely calm about the entire thing. She even went and stood on the walker after we finished like a real, grown-up horse. I'm so proud!
Side note- she is so light-mouthed. I had her in a plain snaffle today to drive her and she was way overdone. I may have to start her in a side pull. I used to start them all in side pulls but had moved to using a snaffle from the beginning recently...
