Yesterday my little orange mate went back home to her owner 💕 . What an awesome journey we had while she was here; going from a shy little girlie who wasn't very sure of me, to a brave little superstar who became my best little buddy 🙏 . I can confidently swallow my pride and say she changed my mind on lots of things - my opinions on mares, chestnuts, Arabs, and even Arab chestnut mares! 😂🙌 . Even though she wasn't too sure of me to begin with, she genuinely tried every step of the way, and I felt like she worked with me to cross everything off the list; groundwork, getting caught better, dealing with a fly mask better, sensitising and desensitising, accepting tack, learning to lunge, and eventually accepting a rider 😍👌 . When the ridden education started, I found that her work ethic made her such a genuine joy to ride. The harder I worked, the harder she worked, and she progressed quite quickly as a result. Wind, rain, thunder in the background - not much bothered her! Walk, trot and canter was established early on, leg yields in all three gaits, transitions within the gait, starting to soften in contact, sharing the arena with another horse, and she even looked after a young rider in a lesson. What's more, she did it all without any naughtiness or sillies whatsoever at any point 💎 . Super excited for this girl's future, and looking forward to following her journey after her winter holiday! 😍🙏 . #angaloarab #younghorse #fourwhitesocks #horsetraining #horsebreaking #flatwork #dressagetraining #dressagelesson #ridinglesson #galloway #eventer #showhorse #naturalhorsemanship #horsemanship #greenbroke #horsetrainer #equestrianlife #equestrianblogger #coltstarting #arabian #arabianhorse #ponyclub #pcav #ponyclubber #lemieux #forsale #equestrian #mare #chestnutmare #bestpony (at KRequestrian) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbpHtbHmCp/?igshid=6w3kj8tathsm
