Jaye came over to today to hang out with me while I rode Chance. This time I tacked him up. He wanted to play with the saddle pads, so I let him. He sniffed and rubbed his head all over them. He picked one up in his mouth and tossed it around a little. It it nice to see his personality coming out. He was fine with the pads on his back but is still not so sure about the saddle and bridle. Tomorrow I'll put the saddle on and let him eat clover. No riding.
He did accept the saddle and bridle after a while and I hopped on. He took me right over to the gate, out we went and just walked around. The ride lasted about 10-15 minutes long. He never really relaxed but he also never got stressed or shut down. I have made it a rule for now that there will be NO eating while riding. That makes things clear for both of us.
The ride was short and sweet. It was fun and it won't be long before we are both relaxing.
