None of us knows what Cohort's first experiences were, so we can only guess.

I have done that many time here when there is no one around and the horse I was getting ready to work just didn't feel right for me to get on, but I wanted to do more than lunge.

We have so many things in common and I know I would enjoy your company on and off horseback. :-)<br /><br />My dressage saddle is about as secure as saddles come, with its deep seat and big thigh blocks.
