Well, the saddle I was borrowing for Chance isn't fitting him like it should so I returned it. Which means that the only way I can ride is bareback or not at all until I get another saddle.
So, I hopped on today in the paddock. We had fun. Every time I get on him it seems we have
another breakthrough. He tested me again, pinned ears and threatened to bite me, this time I
was ready and let him hit my boot. He still continues to do this, but no more pinned ears and it
is now more of a little kid behavior, not threatening anymore. So I'll do what I would do with my kids, ignore it and continue to let him hit my boot.
We went up and back down the rocky hill, around barrels, and just had a good time. This is really going to be good for my seat! And I can feel him under me much better than in the saddle. Also, for some reason the fear in me is going away. Today I was able to be a leader and
Chance was able to be with me. It was a nice.
