Time to take them out under saddle into the woods and ditches...





Today I brought Aragon back and Coppersmith was pleased to see his friend and mentor. I worked both of them in the roundpen with saddle on and also let them travel through the pasture and the trees on their own all tacked up. There was a little trot and canter and it was all within reason...Then Justin came and even though we had decided to start out ponying we actually never attached the leadline. We have identified several issues that I will be working on in the next couple of weeks. Some of them on the ground some of them under saddle. The weather was questionable (Maybe rain or snow) but Coppersmith tucked right in behind Aragon and we rode for approx 1 1/2 . Very similar terrain to what I have been walking him on his own.
