My custom Stone weanling wasn't the only project horse who was set aside during NaMoPaiMo and my recent trip to California.
Although not neglected by any stretch of the imagination, funny, little Sage managed to go nearly six full weeks without wearing a saddle.
That ended yesterday.
So dusty!
She didn't miss a beat, so today we did it again, except this time I lined her up at the mounting block and sat on her one,
two...three times.
She didn't take a single step, and in truth, I didn't ask her to. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow.
In addition to being a really slow customizer, it turns I am also an extremely slow horse trainer.
It's good. It's all good.
We'll get there... eventually.











I am a big fan of slow horsemanship. A solid foundation is lovely to have
ReplyDeleteBig fan of taking it at horse’s pace & not pushing too fast! Mounting block is such an overlooked training step!
