Someone ...Yep was going to suggest the same thing. Someone to lead him a step or two at a time and shut things down if he gets spooked by bringing his head around so you can step off safely. They understand the forward cue well from leading so using those added to a rider at first really helps them. Of course you don't need to have one, especially since you did ground driving and have some extra cues in place, it just helps, with most horses for that first few forward steps. Sis and I have done it lots of times but her latest baby (super curious, super treat-orientated, super mouthy, a cheeky smart-arse) was so interested in me that it was hard to keep his attention properly on her being back there, and at one point he forgot she was there and suddenly noticed her, so that wasn't so good. :D First time that has ever happened to us though.

It would be nice if you had someone there to spot you when you first start out. Having my trainer was a huge help. But you've done it before, so I'm sure you'll be okay. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.com
