She went for a solo spin yesterday across the road. A bit nervous, so there were a lot of circles, but no actual bad behavior. Today she went with Trys (pictured) and Snap (Trys’s project pony) for company. Much better, no worries at all with a buddy. I will try to alternate buddy outings with non-buddy outings so that she can practice solo rides and get confidence with buddy outings. Still just walk and trot – the ground is frozen solid and she’s still unsteady and building muscles and balance.
I also took Bird out for a with-saddle outing in which I worked on my no-stirrup trotting. Fuck I suck at that.
