He went well for her, but if she put one leg on stronger than the other to ask him to go forward he would swing his haunches in or start shoulder-in. It was cool to see that his buttons worked for someone else and nice for the rider to get instantaneous feedback from the horse. She was moving straight ahead in no time. ;)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-45858165654118066892012-08-18T08:48:50.111-04:002012-08-18T08:48:50.111-04:00Thanks, Laura.

Jackson loved it. Loved the attention and had his ears on the little riders the whole time. Your Harley, and my Jackson -- they're all heart.Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-27431839893201854482012-08-17T13:27:31.123-04:002012-08-17T13:27:31.123-04:00Dusty is a real smarty-pants, herself.

I'm sure they're still talking about him and will be asking to ride him again next lesson.<br /><br />I love it when a horse is kind to children. All of ours seem to really know when the grandkids are around them and they behave admirably. Especially, Mellon. My seven yr. old granddaughter has ridden Dusty and she is really good with her. Wish she was that nice to me, maybe I should try shrinking down to kid size.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-79714172789728274132012-08-17T10:12:02.632-04:002012-08-17T10:12:02.632-04:00sounds like he was an absolute star, and did reall...sounds like he was an absolute star, and did really well.
