Sweetpea's and Dale's first "real" test came on 16 August 2008. She'd been with us for a couple months and it was time to see if she'd be as cooperative with riding as she was with almost everything else. We'd seen her ridden so we knew that she knew what it was all about. Dale simply saddled her up (no problems) and he and Sue walked her around the roundpen for a bit to see how she'd take to it.
.
She was just fine. It didn't take more than 10 minutes of leading her until Sue simply walked off and Dale and his new girl were on their own. First thing he learned is that she neck-reins just fine. She listens to everything he says, responds instantly to the reins, she's everything Max is but even calmer.
She's quite a horse.

Even Susan got a bit of a tour with our lady. If anything, she was even better.

I think we've got a riding horse here.
