Hi Jackie,

At noon, I brought Mora into the barn and saddled her.  My husband, who usually does not help me, agreed to hold the lead rope while I worked with Mora.  Mora was perfect standing quietly while saddled which surprised me.  It has been a long time since she has been saddled and she sometimes steps around even though I tighten the girth a little, stop for a couple of minutes, continue as before.  She stood quietly until I put weight on the stirrup and she stepped sideways away from me which she has done in the past.  I cued her to move back in place and we did this a few times until she stood still for me.  She was then rewarded with a small cookie.  I did a series of putting weight in the stirrup and releasing weight, gradually increasing the time in the stirrup until I stood in the stirrup completely for a couple of minutes.  Again, she was rewarded with a cookie for each time she stood completely still for this lesson.  I am excited that Mora behaved very well and I will continue to progress her lesson tomorrow.  Mora and I are close and she tries to please me which is always good in training.  Thank you for your support.

It takes a village and you have become an important part of my village.  Thank you.  Several years ago, my sister, Rose Marie, sent me this.  "Fear plus Action equals Courage."  I keep that in my heart when I face a challenge.  I also belong to a supportive dressage group, Jane Savoie's Dressage Mentors.  With this village of support, I will take my baby step.  Talk to you later.
