I have introduced Shine to the western saddle now and have
had it on his back for 5 different training sessions. I want to invest in
a shorter cinch though because even when I get it as tight as I can, it still
allows the saddle to slide a little when I mount.
I have also mounted several times. Yay! I think today made
it a total of 3 different training sessions when I have mounted. The first
several times I stayed on for only about 2 seconds before
dismounting. Basically, giving Shine a feel for holding my weight. Today I
stayed on Shine close to 10 seconds and he even took a few steps and gave to
the pressure I put on his left shoulder and left rein. Then he gave to the
pressure I put on his right shoulder and right rein. That is a direct translation
from what I have asked him to do when I’m on the ground. Good boy!
