Skittles is going very well under saddle in both walk and trot. She has shown on two different occasions that she is a very level headed horse by not overreacting to noises or other horses acting up in turnout next to the arena while she was being riden. I wouldn’t say she’s “bomb proof” but that she is making good choices. She is getting very good with the ground work, showing good submission and relaxation. The only real “issue” she still needs work on is her tendency to get over excited when her mash is brought into her stall. I’ll be working with her on backing up and waiting for her bucket and not crowding the person who is feeding her. Weather permitting, I will set up a trail ride with her this month.
