Added two more bags, 10#, to the dummy. I need to find something like lead bars...lol
I want to get it as heavy as possible, so if a real person gets on, that jump in weight won't be a surprise. 6 bags, about 26 pound dummy, its not much.
Redid some stuff & added more twine to secure it. The pockets are inside out and have a bag of rock each.
Orange is a 1" memory foam pad I made for my other horse. Going to use it for this setup.
Oh, and the sock covered thing is a saddle rack I made for a small cart I used before a wheel broke. Forgot about it until now, works for my new cart! Supposed to storm, so I had to move it into the trailer.

Short one today, because it's hot n gross out! But also because I think she's limping a bit.
Zero bucks, good turns, one little dude staying outta the way.

As an aside, little dude had his first ride today, too!
Should be in order.
Backing, left & right.

Progress!

So, I found "tube sand", it's for trucks in winter. Cheapest sand, but a whopping 60#!
Comes in a tube-like bag.

If I was stronger, I could just toss one up onto the saddle & strap it down, but I don't think I'll be able to do that. So, instead I'm going to either make 30# bags or use my mini bags and use book bags to hold them or something.

If I can manage to get all of it up there, then that'd be roughly 20# less than my own weight. And if she works up to 120# w/o bucks, then I may be able to hop up there myself!
If she can do that, then maybe I'll haul her to trainer's place & have her hold the lunge line while I ride in helmet and vest. We'll see.

Got a giant pegasus!
She was not thrilled about it.
