Ok I've got the stage with my 3 yr old where it's almost time to start getting on broad. We can lunge, long rein, stop, turn, wear a saddle, so got to start thinking about getting on now! I have backed horses before, just not one for myself. And I've got a very good instructor helping me, but would love to hear of any tips that may help me out.
Things like do you leave the side reins on? Do you wear a body protector when leaning over as someone told me not too in case it catches the saddle when getting off. Would you do it in the school, stable or lunge pen? Or anything else you can think of, sort of having a mild panic, as didn't think I would get to this stage so quick but he's taking to work so easily. (no he's been rushed just had it my head to be broken in the summer, now got to bring that foreword)
Thanks for any replys
