So I was training Brandy, and the truth is, we are both a little bored with basic ground work, she knows it, she does it, and while I am trying to figure out little extra’s here and there, what we both really want to get out and move!

Well, I needed to come up with some different things this morning to do, so I put on what harness I could modify from Girls stuff and a breast harness and we did some draft work and then I was working on walking in close to the loading step and got DH to get on and off, bare back, then we walked her around a bit, all was well, so I put on another halter and tied it off as a bridle and Dh rode her bareback with me walking beside her up and down to the road and around etc.. we even did back ups etc.

It was the first time Dh had ever been on a horse bareback, he did really good, and Brandy, did excellent, she was so calm and gentle with him, such a good girl, as steady as a rock, which is kind of funny, because she is already trying to push her boundries at time with me, to see what she can get away with.. Not that she is getting away with anything.. but she just switched into work mode with him..

I finally have a saddle coming and while its not my first or even my second choice, it a little colorful!, you will see when I  take photos, I should have it within the next two weeks, which seems like such a long time to wait..
