New Teammates!
Emma (different Emma than from a couple of posts ago) rode Amado for her first time today. Emma has been with us a couple of years, but took a break and has been getting back into it riding. We are so glad that she's come back, Emma is a joy to teach and we always have fun when she comes out to ride.
She spent most of the lesson checking off skills from her levels, and finished learning something new: Asking Amado to bridle/collect! These two will continue to work on building consistency in holding collection together and all of their other skills as they work through our levels program.
Amado, "WhatsAmadoWIthYou" Is one of MHNPH's lesson and show horses. You haven't seen him as much because he was dealing with some health issues and acting out from it. Thanks to Lisa Bentley our bodyworker helping us find the right rehab for him, he's been getting back to his old self and getting back into lessons. Emma thought he did "awesome".
