Becoming an old hand

Soleil and I have been rather busy. I have been working a lot on getting her soft and to not lean on the bit she is catching on I would still like her to get softer and lighter but I want that for every single horse I ever ride or get on. So I am happy with how she is catching on. along with our trial rides around here, I hauled out and went to a park over in the black forest, for a change of pace and more exposure. I was quite impressed at how well she did. She was a little nervous at first but i just rode her like I would ride any other horse and kept her straight on the trail. In no time at all she settled in rather nicely. Along the way there were nature signs she didn't like them at first but after I rode her past a couple like it was no big deal soon it wasn't and we had a great ride. I am very happy with how this mare is making up her own mind to settle and decide that the world is not so bad out side. I look forward to more long rides and more progress.
