10/01/24 UPDATE – Nita has been under saddle now for about a month. She really enjoys having something to do. So far, she is a little worried going out for trail rides and can get spooky about things. Nita is learning to be soft in the bridle and responsive to leg cues. She gets bored easily so she needs some stimulation to keep her mind busy. Moving forward, I think she would enjoy having a job. She is still very green and needs an advanced rider to help continue her training.
Nita has received her first ride under saddle recently, and overall did very well. She had a few moments where she got worried and felt the need to either speed up or get nervous and tight. But we believe with more riding she will get more confident while moving out freer and more fluid. She will work her way towards being ridden out on the trails, she just needs time and miles now. At this time Nita will need an experienced rider to further her training under saddle.
