We've gotten to that point.....

Betty hasn't seemed I'm sure to a lot of people the kind of horse that would be ridable to anybody and for anybody for that matter, but it takes the patience and strength to work with her through hard times and she gets better and to the point where you build a good relationship and trust with her enough to get on her back! I trust her completley and I know that she wouldn't do anything to hurt me. I sit with her in the middle of a field, lay down with her when she's napping, read a book out in the field on the end of a lead line with her, anything that you would be able to do with your horse I can just about do with her! Just not to the point of aids yet on mounted saddle but we are getting there! Sometime in the near future! Anyways, when I train/work with any horse I always like to do things the natural way and ride the natural way. I also train them to do both Western, English, and Aussie Stock for riders that prefer their horse to be multi-talented in different areas! This opens up their perspective and that way they don't get board with what you are doing with them! Since every horse is a different brain extrovert every horse learns differently than the rest! Betty still has a long way to go! Right now I am working with her with the aids and am teaching her a English discipline at the moment! Since she has never really been ridden before as of right now she still has a lot of learning to do but I'm sure that if I work with everyday she will get better! She still does not know the basic aids but she will get better with time!
