Looks like she's doing pretty well with a light hand on the "reins".

If she doesn't want to turn or stop, head goes up. Or it bolts down to the ground. Seems like previous rider(s) let her get away with it or never tried to get her over her moods.

Are you happy with her progress?

I tried the GoPro today...Had issues with where it was pointing...ugh.
She did really well on the way back! We trotted twice, she slowed to a walk each time w/o any problems! Of course, camera was facing the clouds...It kept stopping the recording...
Anywho, here are video stills from it. Once I'm able to review it to make sure I'm not saying inappropriate things, I'll post the videos, too.
Camera stopped at about 3min & I had to delete a bunch of videos. Flugi turned to face me during that time. Once I was done, you'll be able to see it in the video, I had her turn 180 and walk on, she did great!
These should be in order!

After today's session, with the surcingle & in the straight way, yes. I need to keep it in that straight area until she really understands, then I can add in areas of openness more and more. She seems to get into a good working mind until her buddies get her off course, lol. I'm guessing that I'll do a lot of this before trying the saddle again. And then eventually add my own dummy onto the saddle or any weight. I'm guessing 6-8wks instead of 4wks that was the original plan, but that's okay.
