It is convenient to his training and to his fitness, and to her.
As her dad said, she needs to get out and interact with people more, which is why he is allowing me to ride the animal.
This horse goes between too skinny and too fat in a matter of days. He goes from Anemia to Laminitis in less than a week.
He was off for 6 months, ill and unable to be ridden. But now it's time to go back to work.

We had a trial and they decided I am fit and good to ride him.
He is coloured. Black and white and absolutely stunning.
He is a good cob type, heavy and steady in his step.
His feathers and whiskers are clipped, and although I don't like that, it isn't my choice.
She rides him first, my friend.
"Are you going to try to canter today?"

"Are you going to try to canter today?"
I ask her and she replies
"Yeah, I might".
I am a better rider than her, but she isn't bad.
It is apparently her first time cantering him in the year she's owned him.
But she did.

"Wrong leg"
I shout from the viewing stand. But it doesn't really matter that much.

But now it's my turn.
Another horse is brought in to be lunged as I am mounting.
So now I have to ride in a consistent small circle.

He threw a little buck when she tried to canter, but it was barely even noticeable.
But now we ride.
He is already warmed up from her short ride, so I go straight to work.
He needs to circle, small circles to really build those muscles.
I start by making him trot extremely slowly, like a jog. He is good and listens.
We canter a few circles, some extremely tight. He is light and soft to sit to. Perfect,

It starts to rain but I continue working with him.
But this time, he decides to buck.
I ask him to canter but he stops and throws a small buck, I sit to it and cluck at him to keep moving forward.
But then he bucks again instead, a big, mean "get off me" type buck.
I ignore him, sit to it and off we go.
He is a good ride. He is kind and loving.
But I don't think they are the right riders for him, because with them he learned that he's the boss.
But now, with me, he got a little shock and realized,
I don't need to be his boss. I want to work with him, as a team.
