I'm so jealous! I haven't been able to ride in ages. Super expensive in the city to own a horse and hard to find a place that let's you actually lease a horse… walking trail rides get to be a bore after a while. She looks so pretty and great work with her 🙂 If she needs exercise cause of your work schedule, have you tried seeing if there's an equestrian program in your area with a student willing to do some riding? Sometimes they get credit if it matches up with their program or they might like the chance just to practice their schooling 🙂 Unless you're planning to be the only rider, just thought I'd suggest it. Keep up the good work!
Sat on my Friesian for the First Time!!!

Wonderful pictures, lovely horse…. Oh the days of your first ride on a young horse... seems like yesterday.... Good luck with her training
-
Yay for Una, how exciting! Looking forward to hearing about how well she does the rest of the week.
-
Thanks all!
It seemed like a good idea to sit on her… Until a split second before i got my bum in the saddle :rolleyes: I was sure she was going to rodeo me off :o But she was a good pony, im so pleased with her! A friend is backing her QH gelding at the moment, he's just turned 3 so a bit younger than Una. He does a rather impressive rodeo horse impression just having the saddle on... No way would i want to be the first one on him :p
Im really looking forward to getting on and riding Una properly.. But little and often is the way to do it, so im told. So just going to carry on like this for a while til she's happy with me sat on her.

That's great! Congrats!
I get so jealous when I see these kind of pics…! -
Lovely Pony, Jess. I like the pic of her looking at the Lab and swishing her tail.
-
ohhhh jealousy… i have been out of the saddle for a few years, and my horsey babies are back in California.... she looks soooo beautiful. Friesians are my next breed!
-
I can understand your wide smile..its way cool!
Thanks so much for sharing. -
Woo hoo! You look great together! I am jealous too!! My sister (and the rest of you) get to have all the fun…but I can live life vicariously through all of you!! Can't wait to see more!
-
Thanks everyone!
Im so worried about messing it up. Una is just so incredibly trusting of me which does make it all easier i guess, but im just worried im going to do something wrong!!! So far so good though

Some more pictures from last night!
On board:
And standing nicely to be untacked:
She seems to be really enjoying it all at the moment.

Very good! I hope she got a few treats for being such a gentle girl.
