Sounds great! They sound like they're making loads of progress. I worked with my old retired mare today. She just loves attention!Ohh, and, I rode both my horses today. That means June got her first ride. She did pretty good too. At first it was a little rough, becuase every time I sat on her she walked off which is totally out of character for her, but after some tough love and perseverance I got her to stand still, and then turned her both directions, then walked forward, just around a little bit in the round pen of course, but it was awesome! And I made a bit of a break through with Phoenix too. When I first got him home he refused to go any direction but backwards, but today we rode all the way to the other end of one of the fields (about 20 acres) and back, I did have to hop off once and manually turn him around becuase he was being weird, but it was still major progress. I'm so proud of both of them! And both rides were bareback with a halter and rope reins, just the way I like it lol
