Riding Lesson
I am planning on having someone come and give Janney some riding lessons, but in the mean time, Trent took Janney out today to get her acquainted with balancing while Rimmon walks.
 She's got her head down, it should be up, but her arms are out and her eyes are closed and she's hanging on with her legs to balance. Later we'll have her stick her legs out, away from Rimmon's side, and try to get balance that way too.
 Snazzy new boots tucked into the snazzy new saddle. |
 Rimmon is wearing a hackmore bridle, it has no bit, and is very gentle. She's very docile. |
 Trent is adjusting the stirup length so Janney can put her feet in properly. It doesn't go any shorter! |
 And a snazzy helmet to go with the outfit. Daddy wanted her to have it for safety. |
Meanwhile, the other horses are hanging out behind the barn. Negev came through the winter with flying colours, but Sahara had a rough time. We had to give her extra nutrition, bought her a blanket for extra warmth and put them both in the barn most nights for that extra bit of wind and weather protection.
Negev looks like she's smiling! She's got a loose lower lip like her dad..lol
Snack time for the herd. There's very little new growth in the pasture, so we're still having to feed them some hay.

Your horse really did look like he was smiling for the camera. Too funny ~
