Hope you don't mind but am rather happy this eve.
May not seem much to most but I am over the moon. tonight, my sister got on my 3 year old for the first time.
She is helping me because she is somewhat lighter and more agile than me. I'm not sure Adina would appreciate me clambering all over her!
I lunged her for 20 mins in walk and trot and then I got my sister to do a lot of leaning etc. Then she leant over a few times and we walked off on a circle and then, she put her leg over, walked around then sat up right.
We left it there as it could not have gone better. Adina was moe worried about licking my leg than anything else and my sister did brilliantly. SHe was a little worried as the last horse she helped me break in was Viento who is 15hh. Adina is 16.1hh maybe a little bigger!!!!
But she reported that she didn't feel that big once on her!
Going to give her a couple of days off and then do some more on wenesday.
Will hopefully get some photos next time.
