Louka has had his saddle on today

LOUKA Wow I can't help but be astounded at how sensible this horse is...he's grown so much just lately- I think he's going to be a HORSE not a pony...he's such a calm sensible fellow..We decided tonight to try him with a saddle on...Into the roundpen and put a nice thick felt blanket on...no problem....then we put the stock saddle on him...No problem...then we did up the girth (loosley of course) ...No problem...then we moved him about...No problem...tightened it to the correct position and then did up the belly strap...No problem....he walked and trotted as though he's always had it on his back....then we let him do whatever he wanted at liberty....He walked , trotted and cantered and at no time did he even look as though it wasn't part of him...he backed up with it on, went in and out the barrels, generally having a bit of fun hunting out his favourite willow to much on etc....Megan Put pressure on the saddle- did lots of jumping up and down beside him and standin on the mounting block either side of him, and he was as calm as you like...we will put the saddle on and off a few times more, move him around and then get on...at no stage has he attempted to buck, pigjump or anything...He's such a special boy....so proud of him. It was too dark to get photo's so will try in the daylight.
