Starting on the Road Back

As most of you know (at least the two or three of you who read this blog), Betty is coming back from an accident last Fall. Her recovery has been amazing and she's able to do most anything now, but still has to rest occasionally as her strength is coming back.

From the very beginning she has always said she planned to ride again. That started today as she decided t0 do some ground work with Gletta in the round pen to reconnect with her as a starting point. Here are some pictures from her work this morning.

Betty is moving Gletta around the round pen just by her body position and body posture:

Gletta finally gave Betty an indication (licking her lips and a relaxed head and neck) that she's ready to join up with her and she's coming toward Betty's inviting body posture:



Betty is moving around the round pen and Gletta is following her every move:


This was a good reconnect for both of them and Betty will try riding Gletta tomorrow morning.

We'll let you know how it goes.
