Seven months ago, we bought an un-handled, terrified, un-broken, skinny pony, it'd take us 4 hours to catch her, she was scared of all people, wouldn't lead, wouldn't pick up feet, wouldn't be brushed.
Today, she went on her first ever ridden hack
We've spent the last seven months bonding with her, teaching her to lunge, long rein, jump (free school), walked her out on roads, sat on her a few times, sorted out back and saddle issues. And today it was worth every moment of upset and frustration, we almost sold her a while back, and I'm so glad we changed our minds.
