Cheers!
I have a lot of family visiting this week. Welle and Wonder were asked to play the role of "Kid's Pony". They both worked in super style. Actually, I am a tad worried that Welle liked it a little too much. Christopher, my sister's nine year old son wanted to ride first. So once mounted I led her forward so he could experience the feel of the walk movement. I had to slow her a bit as I saw his eyes pop out of his head at the start. Welle has quiet a power walk. But she quickly learned to lollygag. Once balanced, we put her out on the lunge and trotted. He sat and held on. Early in the trot I told Welle to slow down a few more times until she was in a lazy jog. She happily jogged for the next three kids' rides. Then my sister, who rode all through her childhood, got on. Welle offered her a lazy jog. So then I ended up coaching Welle with the lunge whip to get her engines going. But she told me clearly she liked the jogging thing.... humm.
