Finding a log to stand on when I mounted was a really good idea, he is one big boy! He stood quietly for me, and we moved right out on our trail ride; no longeing first, just get on and go, even though he hasn't been ridden for two months.
Good boy, Rio!
I felt right at home on him, nice and relaxed, he kind of reminded me of his grandma, my good mare Sundee. The dogs came along and we had a really enjoyable Sunday ride.
There were a few cars and pedestrians, but nothing bothered him.
We worked on getting Beamer to ride side by side without doing any stud talk, he was pretty good, and I think if we can do this often it won't be such a big deal and he will relax.
I found a nice level spot to ride and check out his softness- definitely have some work to do on getting him to bend in the ribs.
I has a happy!
I foresee lots of fun with this horse, and I think he will make a good horse for my husband.
