CDE's snazzy saddle pad looked AWESOME on her! I lunged her, then hopped aboard...for approximately three seconds. She did the"back up and prepare to buck/rear" as soon as I was aboard . This is pretty normal for her, but I need someone to stand next to her to ease her into things, so next week I hav another lesson. I waited for her to settle a bit, patted her, then hopped off. Yes, I guess I am "special".

I wanted to get back on, but thought it best not to push it without someone on the ground to help her. She always gets confused at the beginning. |

Yay for climbing on! is it possible to stick her nose on/ in the fence or a jump so she may think she is just hanging out while you mount? Or if backing is always the problem maybe back her up to the fence and get on? |

Good ideas Optical. She's always more calm if someone holds her then leads her for a few steps. I'm not sure if she's cold-backed or just having a case of the "greenies". She bucked a few times on the lunge (head down, bucking bronc style) which she hasn't done in weeks, so I think she may be in season too. Of course. Naturally.

She's on the raspberry leaf...and chamomile...and passion flower...and chaste tree berry... then I cross myself three times, bow to the east, praise the goddess and hope for the best.

Exactly! Do you have someone that could lead her forward for you, or maybe even lunge her with you on her? Maybe that would help get her past her little bit of coldbackedness. The Tarragon is always a bit coldbacked when starting back into work after she has been out of work for a while. For the first few days I ride her I warm her up in a two-point on a long rein to get her really moving forward and then she's fine. |

YAY Jilli Baby steps kiddo, but in the right direction It's good that you are lunging her first but probably not so good when you see her bucking like a bronc So, close your eyes,k? And don't forget to bow to the east. that's the really important one |
