I lead Clu into the arena with a maroon halter and lead, her first time being in an arena. It was luckily empty. I exchanged her lead rope for a dark blue lunge rope, and I moved away from her, clicking. Clu gave a small kick, but jogged forward.
"Good girl." I said. She was getting used to the idea of a lunge rope. I kissed to make her Lope, and lightly cracked the pink whip. She moved into an easy lope. yesss I thought and let her lope for a while, but soon she started bucking. "Whoa." I said. "Whoa, Girl. Come on Clu." I said moving lightly toward her, dropping the whip. She stopped bucking and trotted to me. I smiled. "Hi Baby." I smiled and rubbed her neck. "Lets go." I said to the chestnut. She didn't move. I clicked. She didn't move. I clicked again and put pressure on the reins moving it to the left. I clicked again, and Clu went with the lunge. I smiled and left the whip by my feet. "Jog." I told her, and she jogged forward easily. I used the end of the lead lunge rope to guide her. She moved easily, and swiftly. I smiled.
"Lope." I said lightly, and she bucked once before loping forward on the right lead. "Good girl." I told her. "Ho." I said and she transitioned from a lope, to jog, jog, to a walk. "Atta Girl." I said, and Clu walked to me. I smiled and lead her to the rail, were I had my beat up old brown saddle I used for starting, and a hackamore. I unclipped the lunge line and held onto her halter. I threw on a black saddle pad, and the saddle, and tightened the cinch (but not very much) and let go, I moved out of the way, Clue gave a little buck, and lightly freaked. I let her, but after a few seconds, she stopped and jogged to me. "Good girl!" I said and led her around. I texted Carolyn:
Got a saddle on Clu <33333 thought o should be here to ride her, but if it's okay...
I sent the text and waited, I put her on the lunge and jogged her around, I took my phone and texted Carolyn a pic.
