First ride

Maria had a long day at work and needed a ride on a horse to fix it. She had promised to just let me lead her around, but after five minutes she demanded the lead rope and rode Panda all around the front pasture. Panda did great! But I'll wait to do some more ground work before I ride her.

A little later I put a saddle and bridle on Panda and did some more ground work. Lunging, changing direction, w-t-w, over cavalletti, etc. Afterwards jaw flexions and stepping over on small circles.

Fixed her front feet today and got started on her hind feet. She is touchy about her hind legs so I can't work back there easily.
