Nutmeg got her third ride today. First she stood at the trailer with a saddle on for a while, DD made the comment that she makes a good saddle stand and he even polished up his saddle while she stood there haha.
Then it was off to the roundpen for some more hobbling lessons. Again she did very well and was very accepting of the hobbles.
After that they practiced standing for mounting, he said she is already very good at standing still for it.
Then he got on and had someone send her around the round pen at a walk, trot and lope in each direction with little problem.
DD said,
"She needs to gain balance and learn to carry the load and that will happen as we go along.
The 3rd ride went without a hitch and I told her she was a very good girl."
Afterwards she got a nice bath and was put next to Snowberry and given a snack.
