I was up at my trainer's barn Saturday evening. They worked my 5 year old gelding, Lamborghini. He has the fastest feet, and is so gaited!
I got to see them put him under saddle for the first time too. He did great! He didn't fuss at being cinched, and didn't even seem to notice when Aleesha got up on him. She mounted from both sides several times, rocked around in the saddle, flailed her legs, laid back on his rump, and petted the top of his head. The whole time all he did was mess with the lead rope trying to untie it.
I am so proud of him. I am really looking forward to being able to ride him, he is going to be so fun.
