Thank you! I totally thought she was going to need lots of training but the pro trainer I hired to eval her said she's safe enough to put kids on and that she was clearly incredibly well trained and loves to please. When I got on her, she listened to everything I told her and responded to cues so well.

Right?? Was not expecting it tbh. I'm hoping to ride her like once a week to start off and eventually work up to two days. I won't ride her unless someone else is there for the time being. Safety first and all that.

I also told the farm hands they can take her out on trail rides if they want. She needs worked with in different ways and conditioned to get more muscle. I wanna take her on trail eventually too, so better riders than me taking her out would be good practice for her. She'd also get used to different saddles which is good training too

Yes, "Whoa!" was probably one of those cues

Þat's a perspective you don't often post. Looks like you brushed her mane, too

First "behind the ears" pic I've gotten with her. It's a huge milestone for the both of us.

I groomed her super well beforehand because a horse being dirty under tack can bother their skin a whole lot. I did her mane and tail just so she could look extra pretty lol.

Only thing I didn't do was her feet because the farrier was out today and did a trim and all that jazz right before I tacked her up.

I'm missing the context can someone link the saga?

Exciting! I'm happy for you both!
