Horse Bridle Mammal Vertebrate Halter


I DID IT.

He is 3 years and 11 months old and I finally climbed up on that tiny baby.

I am about 5'7" or so google says (175 cm) and he is around 16.3 hh.

I love this day :)

Thanks guys! I really means a lot. I do not think I have missed out by taking my time.. but ye, got a bit too impatient to wait till he is 4, I do not think he will change much. This does not mean I will ride him often and a lot - it means we will continue our lunge sessions, with me sitting on him maybe once a week at first, whenever I can get my second person to help out..
Today my friend just led us in 1 small circle, I asked him to stop and he did it perfectly. I could not be happier with starting him like this...

the doors are open and we will do our best to make this adventure the best!

Endiku, I actually hope he was not just relaxed because he was a bit tired - today was extra warm and he still is losing his winter coat and he went a bit crazy with canter today, so he was quite wet and tired, so ye... but he seemed really alright with me, I saw that before already when I was just hanging on his side and he was poking my leg like saying "oh, comon already, stop being stupid, get on and lets go!"

That's what he's saying. Don't be shy to move out and work. He can handle it fine!

Thanks! I love his mane too....


I also cannot wait for our riding adventures... Which (even though i have ridden a lot, owned a horse before etc) will be special, because he is special.

But for now we are staying home, and how to tackle trails with dogs we will figure out later, no need to panic about that.

I already wanna get on today, not wait till tomorrow xD
