Day 17- Introduction to girth pressure and the saddle pad!

She's more relaxed about her feet

So I moved on to introducing the saddle pad...

"Whoa!!! It might have teeth! I think it's going to kill me!"

"Oh well...I guess it might be ok..."

"Why does she always do BOTH sides!" I love acting like I am drunk with the saddle pad and waving it all over.

Here I am introducing what it's going to feel like when I cinch her for the first time.

And here I am retreating...

To the other side again!


So there's what we did today...the weather cooperated a little bit more. It was just windy! Yeesh, I had to break out my hippie ear protectors. Anyways...if everything goes good tomorrow, I may just throw the saddle on! Yee haw! Happy trails, folks!
