Love it! Pretty girl.
Just did this with my Lusitano cross filly last month. First ride and then hurt herself in the field:( 2 weeks stall rest for her efforts. But she was sooo good to get on! Could care less with me up there, at least at the walk. I love a good minded young horse and it looks like Desi is doing well with stepping up and being a big girl.

She was a bit like a wiggly table with wheels underneath but she had only had a handful of rides under saddle when I hopped on that day.

It's a bit weird getting used to the Western gear.

Good for you ! I too had to ride in western tack a few times, it sure is a strange feeling. After a couple times, I almost liked it..LOL

It's similar to my Spanish gear but not as comfortable to ride in and I have problems getting a proper seat in a Western saddle whereas the Spanish ones fit me and the horse much better.

I am returning for the next ride just after Christmas.
Got this report from her starter yesterday
"We are getting Desi out in the hills, moving cattle and introduced rope work and the jump stand. She is still very busy & quick, but is learning well."
I'm really looking forward to seeing her progress since the last visit where she had only been ridden a few times.
I've been working with her half brother Zeus and had my first canter on him at home this week.
