Marty's First Ride

Today was a wonderful training day!  Marty is now a year and 8 months old.  A horse should not be ridden until he is a least 2 and then not a whole lot until he is 3.  Today me and my tiny young friend put a bit in Marty's mouth and let him play with it while we trained him to wear a saddle.  Marty (as usual) let us do anything we wanted to him.

Then as a special event, I asked my tiny friend to sit on Marty to see what he did. Marty has never had anyone sit on him yet.  See video below.

Now, I've got things I can work with Marty on throughout the winter.  Marty loves his playmate Harley.

And I love my Marty.
