So I went out last night but no one was around so Lucy got lunged again (and I took this pic). And today was the day and I got on! There was a lesson going on with some of the riders my age, but we only stuck around for the first 15 minutes, then Lucy was DONE! We will need to work on her fitness! She did really well, but is a very different ride from both Oscar and Lucas. She travels level (much like Lucas) but is smoother than even Oscar. And much shorter to the ground than either of them! If she had a wither I might have been able to get on off the ground at some point but with no wither I'll stick to my mounting block And although she is shorter, she does have some foundation blood in her and wears an 80 blanket and fits Lucas' girth.
She was a little "up" but for having several years off she never put a foot wrong. She does need her teeth done, but the dentist is coming out next month so she'll get put on the list to be done then. She did stop and back up on me at one point but I had just taken a strong hold on her mouth (she didn't want to stop) and I think it was just too much hand for her at that time. But if that is the worst that I'll have to deal with that's ok!
