I hope "tilly" does well too. Ron is very patient. Hope had a little head start on things as I had already put the saddle on her some and handled her a lot, but i sure didnt have the nerve to get on her! LOL! I leave that to the experts! With my pasture being next to the road and a rice farmer being across the street, my horses do get exposed to a lot of big equipment and stuff going down the road, but they will still boogie woogie sometimes from those five fanged horse eaters. I am bad about blowing things off too...and her not being yours, yes, you have to be careful. Mine still freak at 4 wheelers though. I need to hire some kid to bring theirs over for a lesson.
