I DID IT, I DID IT! ! ! ! ! !

First of all i would like to say thanks to Petra and Ann for the wonderful comments. Thanks so much i really appreciate every thing you say.

I SADDLED BANJO!!!!!

It may not seem like much, but considering he hasn't seen the tack for a year now and hasn't been ridden longer then that, he was pretty good. I made sure i watched how he reacted to everything, i also noticed he was calmer on his 'off' side, it's like he knows every time something happens on his left side he gets ridden or something. I had to get Dad to help when i showed him the saddle. It was hard for me to explain to Dad what i wanted him to do, normally he would have just thrown the saddle on, but now i do things a different way and i think he is slowly accepting (learning) it. I just saddled him, i hadn't thought any further then that, but i think i really wanted to ride.

Hopefully, if it isn't as windy and i have time, then i'll saddled him again, and who knows what will happen...........

  1. Oh Lily, I'm so happy for you I've got goose bumps. You go girl. LOL. There's nothing saying you have to ride him. Just sitting up there can be a huge buzz. :) You could always do a halt passenger lesson, where you just sit there for 3 lots of 10 minutes with a 3 minute break between each 10 minute period. By the end of that, you won't be able to help walking - he he he.
    Well done, I'm still goosebumpy.
