Helping Chrissy grow...

Helped Chrissy with 7 games and then she mounted up for her first riding lesson. The idea now is to teach her to relax, develop her seat and find being on a horse comfortable. I hopped on Z and we rode around in the arena together. I wanted her to do at least 21 mins, at the walk, riding Cowboy wherever he wanted to go.

At first, Cowboy just followed Z around. Z was defensive and I finally realized I needed to protect her! Duh! I got my savvy string and kept Cowboy far away. Z and I had a good time! Just easy riding, no stress, no developing, just hanging out and supporting Chrissy. Good for us!
