Working with Frosty and Riding Her!

Frosty, the registered Quarterhorse,  has not been ridden in at least 10 years or more.  Mel decided he would work with her and then be able to ride her.
After his time at clinics and reading books, he has the knowledge and patience to accomplish that; and he did!!
Getting Frosty comfortable with the saddle once again



Rubbing various objects on her back 

This little stool has a history - It was bought for the grandkids to use so they could reach the sinks!  Hard to believe they have outgrown it!  Now Mel uses it to give him a "little edge" to mount.


Putting his weight on the saddle stirrups

Ready for the actual ride?  
(I sure hope so!!  This is hard on the wife's nerves!!)

Great job!! Frosty was ready to be ridden!!


Whew!  How relieved that all went well!!
(I did not doubt Mel's ability - Just the uncertainty of animals and their reactions!)
