This is the second session with this 2 year old, he’s still very unsure about everything but hopefully soon we’ll have him saddled and prep him for his first ride.
My wife and I always take our colts outside and pony them 1st for a few times anyway, before the 1st ride. The benefits are huge. They get to see you above them, on the right and on the left. Walk trot canter next to you. etc., etc..
