First real training ride

Listening ears

 Went very well!  I didn't do any driving beforehand, lunging only.  I rode her for 15-20 minutes, reinforcing walk, whoa, turn and she was fabulous.  Her main problem today was stopping too soon, whereas previously it was walking through the whoa.  Very pleased.

If things go well tomorrow, I plan to take her to the small arena to see how she handles a more open area.  Monday I want to try her in my S-hack, and hopefully Tuesday we'll be riding the fences in the pasture.  If she handles all of that well, we may be out on the trails and the road by the end of the week.  Fingers crossed!
