First I worked with Jagger prepping him for being mounted. Jumping around him like I'm going to hop up (as if I COULD mount bareback by jumping up LOL). Then got the mounting block out and laid over his back, rubbed him all over, rubbed my foot on his butt and over his hips (both sides). He bears weight, all that is left to do is throw that leg over. --- Not yet. Not yet --

| Then I did some ground work with Alexis then rode her in the round pen. |
 |
| She got a lesson in opening the gate |
 |
| Then we rode around the pasture for a few minutes. |
 |
| Then afterwards I rode her back to the round pen and got off. Then untacked and washed her, and we went for a nice walk in the woods together. She ate weeds and grass and didn't even spook at the resident wild cat and a snake that slithered across our path. She was excellent!!! |
