She wasn't overreactive at any point, and she was constantly thinking about the entire situation. I love that she thinks about things. This one is going to be an amazing problem solver!Equine Snobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763483900684638547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600848821664468225.post-78114252046552577322013-10-22T12:13:23.005-07:002013-10-22T12:13:23.005-07:00With the Old Man, I even jumped low stuff!

Once, we even helped her some cows in that thing! You're not coming out of it, that's for sure, so make sure you stay in the middle!!<br />A couple of the girls I ride with climbed on just to sit in it, but they were NOT interested in actually moving or going anywhere.

I think because she is so green (again, less than a year under saddle), it just makes it that much more confusing! She just could not wrap her brain around the fact that there is no right leg! You could just tell that she felt unbalanced (how do you balance this contraption when you are still learning how to balance yourself?). And it looks especially funny when you ride aside without a skirt or habit or other traditional attire!Equine Snobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763483900684638547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600848821664468225.post-17733919740807946152013-10-22T09:06:40.099-07:002013-10-22T09:06:40.099-07:00I just love the look of sidesaddle and all the sil...I just love the look of sidesaddle and all the silly traditions it comes with!
