Tess Gets Saddled on Thanksgiving

Tess did really well! My goal is to get on Tess by Sunday, and today was encouraging. She joined up in the roundpen - then accepted the saddle pad quickly and thought nothing of the leadrope around her girth.

We graduated to the saddle at about the 45 minute mark - no bucking, no worries.
