Oh, our homework!
Tons of, preferably, daily w/t long lining with a saddle on. For at least 30 days, then bring her back for Mr Bucky session & go from there.
Used my old fugly saddle. It still rolled a touch, maybe a thinner pad might help with that. It hardly flopped around on her, which is great!
One stride worth of a buck missed on the left right at the start. Then after several laps of trot & canter, she tossed in some bucking that lasted 7 strides, then she was done.
Sweat pattern wasn't perfect, but far better than expected.
10min of ground driving. Or maybe I should call it 10min of head tossing, ducking & bulldozing.
I bought a pony w/many problems
No real stop, probably would take the bit and run away with you. Listen to directional changes? Hah, no need! We're blindly bulldozing our way through life!
DH was supposed to tell me "No!". So...yeah, here I am, with my can overflowing with worms...
