First real ride

Two sessions today. Morning work mostly desensitizing and in-hand. Sending over a tarp. She did not even seem to know that tarps are scary! What a great head.

In the afternoon Maria & I both took real rides, including some trot. Maria rode her on the trails in our neighbor's back yard. Panda did amazing--she seems to have a great head. She does ride with a low head and can go behind the vertical easily. Interesting to see how this develops.

From the saddle she is stepping over a little on small circles but not much.
